Yes. Climate does not affect what kind of volcano can develop.
Taal volcano is also a high land form but has a mouth or an opening called a crater
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
Not really. While there is nothing that would prevent a composite volcano from developing under an area where a pond happens to be, there is no pond big enough to contain a composite volcano. As soon as the volcano starts forming, the first significant eruption would probably fill in or blast away the pond.
Composite volcanoes are highly variable in what they erupt. Most often, eruptions will release clouds of ash, pumice, and rock fragments. In some cases they fountain or extrude lava.
I believe that the volcanoes on Hawaii or shield volcanoes. For sure, I know Mauna Loa is a shield volcano.
composite volcanoes form when you toss a cooked muffin into the mouth of a hurricane on the 18th of may next year. But only if you're chuck Norris
Generally a flat-looking volcano would be a shield volcano, but it is possible for a composite volcano to become shorter. During a particularly large eruption a composite volcano can collapse to form a bowl-shaped depression called a caldera. Examples include Mount Tambora and Mount Mazama. There are also complex volcanoes, which show characteristics of multiple volcano types and often have multiple vents. The island of Tenerife is such an example, as it is a shield that has several composite cones and cinder cones on it.

Mount Mayon, the Phillipines, is a stratovolcano, or a composite volcano. The lava erupted has a high silica content and high viscosity, and is mainly andesitic. Mount Mayon is categorised as active, and is viewed as a 'perfect volcano' due to the symmetry of sides.
Mount Etna is a Composite Volcano.
Composite volcanos commonly develop to form large volcanic mountains.
A caldera is a large depression in a volcano. Most calderas form in one of two ways: by collapse of the top of a composite volcano after the magma chamber is drained.
