composite volcanos
There are three types of volcanos, shield, cinder, and composite volcanos. Cinder volcanos are the smallest, while shield volcanos are the largest. Composite volcanos are the most dangerous and the most explosive.

Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.
In general, cinder cone volcanos are the smallest.
Usually composite volcanoes. subduction zone volcanos usually form steep sided composite cones composed primarily of andesite
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
A composite volcano is a combination of a cinder cone and a shield cone. The top of a composite volcano is steep like a cinder cone. The bottom of a composite volcano is flatter, like a shield volcano.
