Tall, cone-shaped mountains in which layers of lava alternate with layers of ash are called a. shield volcanoes. b. cinder cone volcanoes. c. composite volcanoes. d. lava plateaus.

The right option is; c. composite volcanoes.

Tall, cone-shaped mountains in which layers of lava alternate with layers of ash are called composite volcanoes.

Composite cone volcanoes are tall cone-shaped volcanoes that are made up of alternating layers of lava, volcanic ash and rock debris. Composite volcanoes are steep-sided and they erupt periodically in an explosive manner. Examples of composite volcanoes are Mount Cameroon and Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier in Washington State.  

one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.

[ answer ]

foliated

[ explanation ]

foliation forms in a rock when pressure squeezes the rock together. the rock then has a design of many different color little lines. there are three types of foliated rock. the types are slate, schist, and gneiss. each type of foliated rock is different based on grain size and foliation characteristics. the lines appear when the rock has been under pressure.
