Cinder cones are steep conical hills formed from loose pyroclastic fragments. Shield volcanoes are composed almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Composite volcanoes are conical volcanoes built up by layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice and ash. Develop an emergency plan that includes evacuation routes and preparing an emergency kit with supplies for your household and pets. Listen to local authorities for warnings and evacuation orders in the event of a volcanic eruption.
