It is a stratovolcano made of successive layers of lava and ash deposits. Fine ash to volcanic bombs are produced in every eruption. The crater lake causes magma to cool quickly and explode violently,
13 leading to fine ash eruptions.there are also frequent lahars produced during eruptions, which flowrapidly down the slopes of the volcano.
