Stop 2: Meet the Volcanoes Click above for Directions ||  What are the Types of Volcanoes? Welcome to Stop 2! Did you know that all volcanoes are not the same? There are actually 3 different kinds! While visiting here you will learn about the types of volcanoes and their features. After you finish the activity, answer the green question,  and check your learning with the quiz. The three types of volcanoes you will learn about today are: Composite, Cinder, and Shield  || Practice these volcano types with the matching game below. media type="custom" key="24489344" Finished with the Matching Activity?

 * Composite Volcanoes are also known as stratovolcanoes. They are grand mountains with steep sides. Most composite volcanoes have a crater at the top with a central vent or a group of vents where lava comes out. These mountains make up some of the the most well known volcanoes on Earth. They are also some of the most violent volcano types and the number of casualties (deaths). || [[image:flamingfieldtrip/Composite.jpg width="377" height="229"]] || [[image:flamingfieldtrip/typesb.gif]] ||
 * Shield Volcanoes are made mostly of slow lava flows. Flow after flow pours from a central vent. It builds up and turns into what looks like a warriors shield. Some of the largest volcanoes in the world are shield volcanoes. Some have diameters of 3-4 Miles and are 1,500 to 2,000 feet high. The Hawaiian islands are composed of chains of shield volcanoes. || [[image:Shield Ali2.jpg width="360" height="222"]] || [[image:typesc.gif]] ||
 * Cinder Cones are the simplest kind of volcanoes. Cinder cone volcanoes have a bowl shaped crater and barely ever rise over one thousand feet. When cinder cone volcanoes erupt lava blows furiously into the air and breaks up into small pieces called cinders. There are many cinder cone volcanoes in western North America. || [[image:Cinder.jpg width="387" height="294"]] || [[image:volcano-cinder-cone.jpg]] ||
