One of the most interesting landforms is volcanoes. They occur when the earth's crust is ruptured due to internal pressure from magma, ashes, and various gases. A composite volcano, also known as a strato volcano, is one of the many volcanic landforms. These are made of lava flows and pyroclastic material which consist of blocks, volcanic ash, fragments of rocks and cinders. These volcanoes are sided deeply near the summits. They have an inclination of up to 30 degrees, but the slopes start decreasing to the base where the temperature increases 5 degrees.

Talking more about composite volcanoes, one of the representatives of World landforms stated, "It is true that composite volcanoes erupt explosively and you will be impressed by this information. This is attributed to the viscous magma. When the magma comes to the earth's crust, it results in clogging of the crater pipe thus causing the gas in the pipe to be locked up. This will cause pressure to mount up and eventually, violent eruptions occur. In some instances, the lava solidifies within fissures and forms dykes. The dykes act as ribs that provide strength to the volcano."
