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.
