There are far more than 5 types or processes of welding. Currently the American Welding Society (AWS) states that there are more than 80 different welding and joining processes. However, some of the common welding processes include shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), and oxyfuel gas welding (OFW).
A spot welding robot has generally 5 axis opposed to an arc welding robot that needs 6 axis. The controls and communication channels with the welding power supplies are configured differently as well.

SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.

The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.

If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
If by gas welding you mean-oxyacetylene welding. The difference is just that arc welding requires a darker shade of lens. When oxyfuel gas welding (OFW) usually a shade 5 lens is recommended. When arc welding, a minimum of shade 10 lens should be used (actually shade should be determined by amount of current used).
Almost all welding today is done with electricity (Arc Welding) even on cast iron. SMAW, GTAW, GMAW etc. --AW means Arc Welding.
Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.

Arc welding uses an electrical current to create enough heat to melt metal. Any type of welding that uses an electric arc is technically arc welding. However, most people use the term 'arc welding' to mean shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), or 'stick welding'. SMAW, MIG, and flux core wire welding use the filler metal as both electrode and filler; TIG welding uses an electric arc to heat the base metal and a separate filler rod to add metal to the weld.
ARC welding uses large amounts of electricity to melt the metal, not a hot flame. So no, LPG cannot be used for ARC welding.
