Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches that of a dome complex volcano, which is characterized by thick and steep lava-domes made of viscous dacitic and rhyolitic rock. Shield volcanoes are wide and gently sloping with a gradual incline formed by basaltic lava flows, cinder cone volcanoes are small and steep with a single vent, and composite volcanoes are large and steep with alternate layering of lava and ash.
