About stratovolcano:

• The stratovolcano is often referred to as a conical volcano. It is made up of several layers of hardened lava. Stratovolcano lava is very viscous.

• It cools and hardens until it extends far. The stratovolcano also has frequent effusive eruptions. Stratovolcano lava is not a major danger to humans since it is extremely viscous.
