Detailed explanation-1: -Stratovolcanoes are more likely to produce explosive eruptions due to gas building up in the viscous magma.
Detailed explanation-2: -Composite volcanoes are also called stratovolcanoes. Some geologists avoid the use of the term “stratovolcano” because these volcanoes typically are not stratified and do not consist of orderly layers of lava flows and pyroclastic deposits.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite cones, are the most picturesque and the most deadly of the volcano types. Their lower slopes are gentle, but they rise steeply near the summit to produce an overall morphology that is concave in an upward direction.
