Composite Volcano

Real World Example

Imagine you're building a layer cake for a party, but you have to alternate between layers of cake and frosting to get the right balance. Just like this cake, a composite volcano is constructed with alternating layers, but instead of cake and frosting, it consists of layers of lava and ash. The layers of cake are akin to the lava flows that harden and give structure, while the frosting layers represent ash deposits that add texture and complexity, together creating a towering, cone-shaped structure.
