    MODULE 1 Lesson 2

    There are several ways to classify volcanoes, including by structure and activity. Structurally, there are three main types: cinder cone volcanoes, which are simple and built from ejected particles; composite or stratovolcanoes, which are large with steep sides formed from viscous lava; and shield volcanoes, which are broad with flat tops formed from fluid lava flows. Volcanoes can also be classified based on their activity as active if they have erupted in the last 10,000 years, inactive if not in the last 10,000 years, or potentially active if they show signs of recent morphological changes. The Philippines has over 100 volcanoes, with 24 currently active.

    Different Types of
    Volcanoes
    LESSON 2
    Classification of Volcanoes
    Classification of a Volcano
    There are several ways by which
    volcanoes can be classified. They
    can be classified based on
    structure and activity.
    Types of Volcanoes Based on Structure

    One way to classify different


    types of volcanoes is through the
    structure characterized by their
    shape, parts and formation.
    Cinder Cone Volcano
    • are the simplest type of volcano
    • built from particles and solidified lava ejected
    from a single vent
    • lava is thrown into the air
    • most cinder cones have a steep slope, wide crater
    and are the most abundant of the three major
    volcano types.
    Cinder Cone Volcano
    An example of this type in the Philippines
    • Taal Volcano in Batangas
    • Smith Volcano found in Babuyan Group of Islands
    • Mount Mayabobo found in Quezon Province
    • Mount Musuan in Bukidnon.
    Cinder Cone Volcano
    An example of this outside of the Philippines
    • Paricutin volcano in Mexico
    Composite Volcano or Stratovolcanoes
    • large, typically steep sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension
    • are formed from viscous, or sticky, lava that does not flow easily.
    • lava builds up around the vent forming a volcano with steep sides
    • one important feature of a composite volcanoes is the conduit
    system from which magma rises to the surface of the Earth.
    Composite Volcano or Stratovolcanoes
    Some famous composite volcanoes in the Philippines
    • Mount Mayon in Albay
    • Mount Arayat in Pampanga
    • Mount Kanlaon in Negros Island
    • Mount Apo in Davao Region
    Composite Volcano or Stratovolcanoes
    An example of these outside the Philippines
    • Mount Rainier in Washington, USA
    • Mount Fuji in Japan
    Shield Volcano
    • are large, broad volcanoes that look similar to shields from above –
    hence the name.
    • are built almost entirely of fluid lava flow thus these volcanoes are
    not steep
    • can be easily identified because they are tall and broad, with flat,
    rounded shapes
    • the lava is not accompanied by pyroclastic materials, which makes
    shield volcanoes relatively safe.
    Shield Volcano
    • Mauna Loa is one of the largest shield volcanoes
    Types of Volcanoes Based on Activity
    Another way of classifying volcanoes
    according to the Philippine Institute of
    Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS/ The
    Philippine Institute of Volcanology and
    Seismology) is based on their activity as indicated
    by their behavior and historical records.
    Active Volcanoes
    • are those volcanoes that have had at least one
    eruption during the past 10,000 years
    • are those that erupted recently and still
    showing regular activity like emission of
    gases, lava and ash flows.
    Inactive Volcanoes
    • are those that have not erupted for the last 10,000
    years and is not expected to erupt again in a
    comparable time scale of the future
    • are no signs of volcanic activity for a long period of
    time because magma supply is cut off
    Potentially Active Volcanoes
    • are those that have no records of
    volcanic activity but are
    morphologically young-looking.
    Our country has more than a hundred
    volcanoes. Twenty four (24) are active while the rest
    are either potentially active or inactive volcanoes.
    Below are some examples of active volcanoes.
