Stromboli Volcano 3D Animation & Infographics
Are you fascinated by volcanoes? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to see an eruption up close? Better yet, what if you had x-ray vision and could see inside of an erupting volcano? Our 3D animation shows what it’s like to watch the Stromboli volcano erupt, and then envision cutting away the mountain to reveal the magma chamber beneath. Read on to see our volcano infographics, and to learn more about volcanoes and specifically the Stromboli composite volcano.This volcano animation was created © Christoph Kuehne, SayoStudio—based on geologists’ 3D models of the Stromboli volcano magma chamber.

Volcanoe Types Graphic
Volcanoes come in a variety of forms; from cinder cones, lava domes, composite, and shield volcanoes
- Cinder Cones: The classic volcano shape, the cinder cone, blows lava high into the air. As it cools, it solidifies into rocks, cinders and ash, creating a short but steep mountain.
- Lava Domes: Viscous lava slowly piles near the vent to form a low mound, often on the sides of large composite volcanoes.
- Composite Volcanoes: Composite volcanoes, or stratovolcanoes, are large, tall volcanoes. They are formed by layers of flowing lava and layers of cinders and ash. The Stromboli volcano in our animation is a classic example.
- Shield Volcanoes: Exemplified by Hawaiin volcanoes like Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, and Kilauea, shield volcanoes are wide, large, gently sloping landforms. Their fluid lava has built the Hawaiin islands.
