TYPE OF VOLCANOES


The three types of volcanoes are-

Active volcanoes. These volcanoes keep on ejecting volcanic material at frequent intervals. The Etna volcano of Italy has been active for the last 2500 years. The Stromboli volcano of Sicily Island explodes after every 15 minutes and is known as the Light house of the Mediterranean.

Dormant or sleeping Volcanoes. The dormant volcanoes are those in which eruption has not occurred regularly for a long time. But they cause great damage to life and property when they suddenly becomes active after remaining dormant for a sufficiently long time. Visuvius volcano of Italy has exploded only 10 times in about 1500 years.
