"Continental" Volcanoes Defined

In the typical "continental" environment, volcanoes are located in unstable, mountainous belts that have thick roots of granite or granitelike rock. Magmas, generated near the base of the mountain root, rise slowly or intermittently along fractures in the crust. During passage through the granite layer, magmas are commonly modified or changed in composition and erupt on the surface to form volcanoes constructed of nonbasaltic rocks. (Tilling, 1985)

This definition is in context to Volcano. See more contextual defintions for "Continental" Volcanoes.
