Volcanic Complexes
A volcanic complex is a group of interconnected volcanic features that can include multiple types of volcanoes, such as shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, and cinder cones. These complexes often form over long periods through various volcanic eruptions and can create diverse landscapes. They may also include volcanic domes and fissures, contributing to their complexity.
Volcanic complexes can be found in many regions around the world, often associated with tectonic plate boundaries. They are important for understanding volcanic activity and hazards, as their eruptions can impact surrounding ecosystems and human settlements. Monitoring these complexes helps scientists predict potential eruptions.
