About this work

ISS021-E-008370 (16 Oct. 2009) --- El Misti volcano in Peru is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 21 crew member on the International Space Station. The symmetric conical shape of El Misti is typical of a stratovolcano ? a type of volcano characterized by interlayered lavas and products of explosive eruptions, such as ash and pyroclastic flow deposits. Stratovolcanoes are usually located on the continental crust above a subducting tectonic plate.
