Classification of volcanoes

                                                              Volcanos

1	Volcano	The inner molten magma  of the interior of the earth erupts on the surface of the earth through the vent is known as volcano
2	Types of volcanoes	I)                    Based on the frequency of eruption, volcano is divided into three types.  1) Active volcano, 2) Dormant volcano, 3) Extinct volcano. II)                  Based on nature of eruption, they are divided into two types.   1) Central type of volcano, 2) Fissure type of volcano. III)                Based on nature  of eruption matter, they are classified into two  types.  1) Explosive Type, 2) Placid Type. IV)               Based on after eruption, they are classified into four types. 1) Lava Dome, 2) Shield volcanoes, 3) Cinder Cone, 4) Composite Volcano.
3	Active volcano	Active volcanoes erupt in fairly frequent intervals. They are alive volcanoes. Ex:  Mt. Etna in Italy (Europe) is an active stratovolcano.
4	Dormant volcano	The volcano erupted in the past and may be erupted in future. They are sleeping volcanoes. Ex: Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (Africa)
5	Extinct volcano	The volcano erupted in the long ago and never erupted again. They are dead volcanoes. Ex: Mt. Kulal in Kenya (Africa)
6	Central type of volcano	The volcano erupts at a central point of the vent and forms a conical shape of hill. Ex: Mt. Vesuvius in Italy (Europe)
7	Fissure type of volcano	The magma erupts and spread  the surface, forms shields or plateau. Ex: Mt. Ray in Canada (N. America)
8	Explosive type of volcano	Huge volume of gas, steam, rocky particles, dust, smoke erupt with great force. Ex: Mt. Krakatoa in Indonesia (Asia)
9	Placid type of volcano	The magma rises to the surface quietly with low intensity. Ex: Mauna Loa in Hawaiian Islands in Central Pacific Ocean.
10	Lava Dome	Slow extrusion of the viscous magma forms Lava Dome. Ex: St. Helens in USA
11	Shield volcano	Forms by low viscosity highly fluid lava. Ex: Mt. Kilauea in Hawaiian Islands.
12	Cinder cone	conical shaped land forms around the vent on the surface of the earth. Ex: MT. Mauna Kia in Hawaiian Islands.
13	Composite volcano	Volcanic hill formed my alternative layers of lava is a Composite volcano this is known as Strato volcano. Ex: Mt. Fuji in Japan (Asia)
14	Vent	Vent is a narrow pipe like shape which ejects from interior to surface of the earth as lava
15	Magma	Magma is the molten form of the rocks found in the interior of the earth.
16	Lava	The inner molten magma when flows on the surface of the earth is known as lava
17	Volcanoes of India	Barren Island in Andaman region  is the only volcano in India. This is an active volcano and lastly erupted in 2017. Narcondam Island is the dormant volcano located in Andaman Sea. Baratang Island in Andaman region is the active mud volcano in India.
