Type of Volcano

Mount Pinatubo is a mix between a Composite Cinder Cone, and it has a structure of a Stratovolcano. This means that this volcano has many different composites within, and it has many strong layers of mostly hardened lava and and volcanic ash. This mountain is also a oceanic to oceanic collision, resulting in subduction.
