You will need to change your gradient value to a divide it


Gradient = change in elevation / distance

Calculate the gradient (in ft/mile) of the following volcanoes to help you determine their type (shield, composite or cinder cone). You will have one of each type. You will need to change your gradient value to a %, divide it by 100 (this will give you a value that is close to the degree measurement for each volcano to help you determine its type).
