Kihtvulkaanide
Kihtvulkaanide, also known as stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes, are a common type of volcano characterized by their steep, conical shape. They are built up over long periods by repeated eruptions of viscous lava, ash, and volcanic rocks. These eruptions often occur in cycles, with periods of lava flow followed by explosive bursts of ash and debris. The lava that erupts from kihtvulkaanide is typically andesitic or rhyolitic in composition, meaning it is rich in silica. This high silica content makes the lava thick and viscous, which prevents it from flowing long distances. Instead, it cools and solidifies closer to the vent, contributing to the steep slopes of the volcano.
The explosive nature of kihtvulkaanide eruptions is due to the buildup of pressure from trapped gases within
