Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of the volcano containing interlayered lava flow, pyroclastic deposits, and volcanic mudflows suggests a composite volcano. Composite volcanoes are also known as stratovolcanoes and are typically characterized by a symmetrical shape and alternating layers of lava and pyroclastics. They are relatively large and can produce explosive eruptions as well as lava flows and mudflows.
