- Crystal rocks are disturbed by earth movement leading to formation of a vent / pipe.
- Initially crustal rocks experience violent explosion leading to shattering of rocks to form the first layer of Ash.
- As the eruption proceeds, the violence ceases and lava pours out forming a layer on top of the Ash.
- The process is repeated until a dome shaped feature with alternating layer of Ash and lava forms known as a composite volcano
