Complex
Volcano - John Seach
Complex volcanoes are mixed landforms.
In most cases, they occur because of changes either in eruptive
habit or in location of the principal
vent area. A stratovolcano may form a large explosion crater that later
becomes filled by a lava dome, or
several new cones and craters may develop on a caldera's rim. One
stratovolcano cone may overlap another
and have multiple summits.
