Although stratovolcanoes are sometimes called composite volcanoes, volcanologists prefer to use the term stratovolcano to distinguish among volcanoes because all volcanoes of any size have a composite (layered) structure — that is, are built up from sequential outpourings of eruptive materials. EXAMPLES — a stratovolcano — the day before the May 18 , 1980 , eruption that removed much of the top of the mountain]] , a dormant stratovolcano in the Caucasus ]] , an active stratovolcano in Mexico ]]
