Is Mount Kenya a composite cone a cinder cone or a shield cone?

What are the thee volcano types?
The three main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite (or stratovolcanoes) volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gently sloping sides and are formed by layers of lava, while cinder cone volcanoes are steep-sided with a conical shape and are made of pyroclastic material. Composite volcanoes are a mix of both lava and pyroclastic material, with a classic symmetrical cone shape.
How does a volcano gets its shape?
Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.
What is the definition of a shield cone?
A shield cone is a type of volcanic cone that is formed from the eruption of low-viscosity lava, typically basaltic lava. It has gentle slopes and a broad, rounded shape, resembling a warrior's shield laid on the ground. Shield cones are typically associated with non-explosive eruptions and are common in areas of volcanic activity such as Hawaii.
