The base of a volcano is a part of the earth's crust. It is created due to pressure in the molten magma below the crust finding a weakness in the crust that gives the lava a pathway to the surface.
Shield volcanoes
Hawaii and Iceland are examples of places where volcanoes extrude huge quantities of lava that gradually build a wide mountain with a shield-like profile. Their lava flows are generally very hot and very fluid, contributing to long flows. The largest lava shield on Earth, Mauna Loa, rises over 9,000 m from the ocean floor, is 120 km in diameter and forms part of the Big Island of Hawaii. Olympus Mons is the largest shield volcano on Mars, and is the tallest mountain in the known solar system. Smaller versions of shield volcanoes include lava cones, and lava mounds.
Cinder cones
Volcanic cones or cinder cones result from eruptions that throw out mostly small pieces of scoria and pyroclastics (both resemble cinders, hence the name of this volcano type) that build up around the vent. These can be relatively short-lived eruptions that produce a cone-shaped hill perhaps 30 to 400 m high. Most cinder cones erupt only once. Cinder cones may form as flank vents on larger volcanoes, or occur on their own. Paricutin in Mexico and Sunset Crater in Arizona are examples of cinder cones.
Stratovolcanoes
These are tall conical mountains composed of lava flows and other ejecta in alternate layers, the strata that give rise to the name. Stratovolcanoes are also known as composite volcanoes. Classic examples include Mt. Fuji in Japan, Mount Mayon in the Philippines, and Mount Vesuvius and Stromboli in Italy.
Supervolcanoes
Supervolcano is the popular term for large volcanoes that usually have a large caldera and can potentially produce devastation on an enormous, sometimes continental, scale. Such eruptions would be able to cause severe cooling of global temperatures for many years afterwards because of the huge volumes of sulfur and ash erupted that may block or partially block the sun. Examples include Yellowstone Caldera in Yellowstone National Park and Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia. The Yellowstone volcano is the only dormant supervolcano in the world today. All the rest are long extinct. Supervolcanoes are hard to identify given their enormous areas covered. They are also known as flood basalt events due to the large amounts of basalt ejected.
Submarine volcanoes
Submarine volcanoes are common features on the ocean floor. Some are active and, in shallow water, disclose their presence by blasting steam and rocky debris high above the surface of the sea. Many others lie at such great depths that the tremendous weight of the water above them prevents the explosive release of steam and gases, although they can be detected by hydrophones and discoloration of water due to volcanic gases. Even large submarine eruptions may not disturb the ocean surface. Submarine volcanoes often form rather steep pillars and in due time, may break the ocean surface as new islands. Pillow lava is a common eruptive product of submarine volcanoes.
Subglacial volcanoes
Subglacial volcanoes develop underneath icecaps. They are made up of flat lava flows atop extensive pillow lavas and palagonite. When the icecap melts, the lavas on the top collapse leaving a flat-topped mountain. Then, the pillow lavas also collapse, giving an angle of 37.5 degrees. Very good examples of this can be seen in Iceland. These volcanoes are also called table volcanoes or mobergs.
The bedrock of a volcano is located under the grounds soil and it is not seen from land. It is usually made up of a layer of solid rock formations.
The base of the volcano is the lowest part, bottom, or supporting layer of the volcano.
it is the ground the volcano sits on.
The volcano's core.
the focus
People establish farms at the base of volcanoes because volcanic soils are rich in nutrients, which makes them highly fertile for agriculture. Volcanic ash and lava deposits provide natural fertilization and the heat from volcanic activity can create a favorable microclimate for growing crops. Additionally, volcanic areas often have access to abundant water resources, making them attractive locations for farming.
Flood basalts build volcanic cones because flood basalts are believed to originate when the head of a mantle hotspot first arrives beneath the base of a plate. Because of this, they are unable to build volcanic cones.
The correct spelling is volcanic tuff instead of volcanic tuft. Volcanic ash that has been ejected from vents during eruption makes volcanic tuff.
A pile of stones that were once part of a large boulder, or talus at the base of a mountain. Scree or rubble volcanic debris is called cinders
Ibiza is not volcanic
A volcanic vent. There may also be a crater (a concave depression or pit). This is known as a volcanic vent. It may sit at the base of a volcanic crater.

A volcanic mountain with a wide base and gently sloping sides is called a shield. Shield volcanoes form very large.

Try the base of a "black smoker" (an undersea volcanic vent).
It would be known as a Shield volcano.
The -ic change the meaning of the base word because the word academic and volcanic is changing into a adverd.The one that is in a darker ink is the answer and the one that dont have a dark ink is a complete thoughts because my teacher wants meto put it in a complete thoughts

The mysteries surrounding the moon base are a mystery. However there are many theories such as The Spaceship Moon Theory. There are also loads of questions like is their volcanic activity on the moon?
