Study Notes
Volcanoes and Global Warming
- The Pacific ring of fire is characterized by the presence of composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, which are tall and conical in shape.
- Composite volcanoes are formed by a combination of viscous and fluid lava flows, and are known to produce violent eruptions.
- The primary gas responsible for global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a rise in global temperatures.
