Buchanan, who is buried in Lancaster, has regularly been ranked one of the worst presidents by historians, citing his ambivalence towards the South wanting to secede from the Union prior to the Civil War.
A shield volcano is a type of volcano usually built almost entirely of fluid magma flows. They are named for their large size and low profile, resembling a warrior's shield lying on the ground. This is caused by the highly fluid lava they erupt, which travels farther than lava erupted from stratovolcanoes.
Composite Volcano. Introduction. A composite volcano is also known as a stratovolcano. These volcanoes form tall, conical shaped mountains. Most of the Earth's active volcanoes have formed a ring around the Pacific Ocean. There are 452 stratovolcanoes in the Pacific Ring of Fire.he lava is less fluid and forms thick lava flows on the sides of the volcano. Sometimes the lavas form small dome volcanoes over the vent in the crater of a stratovolcano or on its steep sides. Eruptions of statovolcanoes. Stratovolcanoes erupt less frequently than shield volcanoes which have formed over hot spots.
