the shape and size of a volcano all depends on the pressure exerted onto the magma upon it rising upwards, for example; a composite volcano has very steep sides, so therefore alot of pressure has built up beneath the earths crust and has quickly rose up giving the earth no choice but the form the steep sides. whereas a shield volcano has gentle sloping sides meaning not alot of pressure has been gained letting the earth adapt more to the changes as the formation is more slower thus the less steep sides. hope this helps
Because sometimes they have explosions and change shape.
There are three different types of volcanoes. The types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, dome volcanoes, and also composite volcanoes.
There are three types of volcanoes because each volcano is different. A shield volcano is a broader volcano that erupts lava at a slow speed, it can be avoided with a brisk walk. This volcano does not cause explosions. A cindercone volcano cause pyroclastic flows and are more rare than shield volcano, also, these volcanoes are the deadliest and cause large explosions such as the one on mount St. Helens. A composite volcano, is the two put together. It is in between on the size, and sometimes erupts lava and sometimes pyroclastic flows.
shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes
The three different types of volcanoes include the following; shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and the cinder cone volcanoes. These all have their names because of the size and shape of the out rocks of the actual volcano itself.

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.

The amount of gas and the pressure in the volcanoes.
Different shaped volcanoes occur because of the way the magma flows. Three types of volcanoes are shield, composite, and caldera.

There are actually quite a few different kinds of volcanoes in the world such as active volcanoes. These volcanoes include also underwater volcanoes and inactive volcanoes.
