Choose three volcanoes - one composite volcano, one shield volcano, and one caldera - and complete the data requested in the matrix below. Then write a short essay on each one, describing the plate tectonic setting, common igneous rocks found there, and the eruptive history of the volcano. When was the last eruption or activity, what is the potential for future eruptions, and what is the population distribution in the area within the volcano's hazard zone? Feel free to use graphics (graphs, maps, diagrams, photos, satellite images, etc.) where appropriate to support your descriptions and discussion.
