There are four main types of volcanoes, namely Shield Volcanoes, Composite Volcanoes, Cinder Cones and Acid-lava Volcano. Shield Volcanoes: * Large base area * Gentle slope * Contains basic lava * Frequent eruptions * Quiet and gentle eruptions * Very tall in height due to large base area Composite Volcanoes: * Relatively small base area * Concave slope * Contains acidic lava * Violent eruptions * Repeated eruptions * Erupts from the side cones * Usually not very tall in height due to gentle slopes Acid-lava Volcanoes * Small base area * Steep slope * Contains acidic lava * Violent eruptions * Creates crater lakes (caldera) after eruptions * Tall in height due to steep slopes Cinder Cones * Small base area * Steep slopes * Symmetrical slopes * Moderate eruptions * Not tall in height as slopes are easily eroded
