Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A crater is a circular surface depression, usually found at or near the summit in a volcanic mountain.
A cinder cone is a small, conical hill (usually less than 450 m high), with a truncated top formed from cinders that accumulated during moderately explosive eruptions.
A caldera is a large, basin shaped depression that forms when summit material on a volcanic mountain collapse inward. These may fill with water to form lakes.
A shield volcano is a gently sloped, gradually rising volcano formed from effusive eruptions.
A composite volcano forms from an explosive eruption and formed by multiple layers of lava, ash, rock, and pyroclastics.
