The characteristics of a stratovolcano are as follows:

The eruptions are very violent and explosive, hurling volcanic bombs due to gas building up in the viscous magma.
The lava builds up around the vent, forming a volcano with steep sides as high as 7,000 feet, and the shape is a symmetrical cone.
It consists of alternating layers of lava and ash.
