Composite Volcano Facts for Kids
Composite volcanoes are formed by viscous lava, which is relatively thick. Viscous is the opposite of runny. After this lava flows for a while, the eruption changes and starts ejecting ash and cinder that falls near the summit of the mountain, which is why these volcanoes have such steep sides. The eruption then changes back to lava, which cements the ash and cinder.

Composite volcanoes are constructed from multiple eruptions, sometimes recurring over hundreds of thousands of years, sometimes over a few hundred.
