“…The volcano is constructed layer by layer, as ash and lava solidify, one upon the other and are sometimes called stratovolcanoes or andesite volcanoes. Systematic morphometric studies of composite volcanoes and composite cone evolution on earth have been dealt with by several authors (Davidson and da Silva, Grosse, Karátson, Karátson [1][2][3][4]. Grosse [2] proposed a classification and evolutionary scheme for arc-related composite volcanoes, whereas Karátson [3] studied the regular stratovolcano shape using an advanced digital elevation model analysis.…”

“…Note that there is no consensus on classification. According to Karatson [4] four subtypes of composite volcanoes could be recognized according to their morphology. However, there is little evidence whether there occurs a real trend in these volcanoes from simplicity to complexity A-Concave, regular-shaped cone: this is the simplest "textbook" profile of composite volcanoes the regularshaped composite volcano may retain its symmetrical cone shape for a long time.…”

A thorough examination of composite volcanoes (stratovolcanoes) on the Martian surface by satellite remote sensing (via Google Mars) has revealed that these volcanoes are rarely occurring independently but frequently occurring as parasitic landforms which were re-erupted at the bottom floor of larger collapse calderas after re-filling of the magma chamber below. Fifteen independent composite volcanoes of which ten volcanoes are described for the first time, beside new twenty-one representatives of parasitic composite volcanoes are subjected to detailed statistical analyses for their topographic and morphologic characters. The data are discussed, correlated and represented graphically. In addition, the topography and morphology of fourteen volcanoes of the previously known major and minor shield volcanoes are statistically analyzed in order to homogenize method of study for means of correlation with the composite volcanoes. The study contributes to improved understanding of the volcanic activity, structures and deposits on Mars.
