Talk:Stratovolcano

message: Title here is "Stratovolcano", but first sentence says "composite" and "strato" only appears at end of first paragraph.  I'm not geological, but I think this is confusing. The second para, about volcanologists prefering the "stratovolcano" term helps, but that first sentence bugs me.  Can someone in the field please clarify this? Thanks   - Peter 00:39, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just did a Google Scholar search, and stratovolcano beats composite volcano 7:1 in usage in publications. In publications from 2005 to present (to check what your teacher says about recent usage), the same 7:1 ratio exists. So from a first glance, at least the scientific community prefers "stratovolcano". Awickert (talk) 04:11, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Is this one word or two?  Currently (as of April 10, 2007) the article spells it "stratovolcano" pretty consistently.  But some sources spell it "strato volcano."  Any experts around here care to say which it is? -- Why Not A Duck 19:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. It should be "stratovolcano". "Stratovolcano" is the most common usage and has appeared on every volcanological paper I have read. Volcanoguy 17:17, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

message: According to the first paragraph stratavolcanoes are characterized by andesitic lava.  The article goes on to name the Cascade range and Mt. St. Helens as examples.  These mountains have composite lava, layers of andesite and mafic lava. This variation needs to be mentioned to avoid the misleading impression that these volcanoes are strictly andesitic. 96.252.103.113 (talk) 06:25, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. And not all stratovolcanoes form at subduction zones. Stratovolcanoes like Hekla in Iceland or Mount Edziza in northwestern British Columbia, Canada formed from rift/hotspot volcanism instead. Black Tusk (talk) 06:44, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

text: And someone added material about composite volcanoes not being the same as stratovolcanoes, which has been subsequently reverted, although two sentences remain with  tags. Can an expert confirm or contradict this material? hike395 (talk) 05:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The term composite volcano, is best reserved for those edifices with more than one eruptive peak. Well, according to what I know, composite volcano is the same as stratovolcano while complex volcano and compound volcano are terms for volcanoes with more than one feature.
