Volcanos have different shapes mainly because of the viscosity of magma rising from a central vent. (A.K.A resistance to flow) It can vary from hot syrup which is thin and watery to thick and pasty just like toothpaste. Some other factors that change the shape of a volcano is the material that the volcano is made of.

Name the different types of volcanoes according to their shape?
There are three types of volcanoes which have different shapes and types of eruptions. * Shield Volcanoes - are low and flat and have small, flowing eruptions. * Composite Volcanoes - are a mixture between shield volcanoes and cone volcanoes, their eruptions are explosive. * Cone Volcanoes - are the tallest and largest volcanoes, and they have VERY explosive eruptions.
