What are the characterististicsc of the three types of volcanoes? <--- looser answer
here's mine..
Shield volcanoes- their sides are not very steep. They have nonexplosive eruptions.
Because the lava is very runny, it spreads out over a wide area. Over time, the layers of lava create a volcano that has gently sloping sides.
Cinder Cone volcanoes- made of pyroclastic material usually produced from moderately explosive eruptions. This forms steep slopes. Cinder cones often occur in clusters, commonly on the sides of other volcanoes. They usually erode quickly because the pyroclatic material is not cemented together.
Composite Volcanoes- Most common type of volcanoes. They form explosive eruptions and nonexplosive. They have broad bases and sides that get steeper toward the top.

Name the different types of volcanoes according to their shape?
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.
What are the three different 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.
