The different shapes of volcanoes include composite volcanoes or stratovolcanoes with steep sides and symmetrical cones. Cinder cone volcanoes have a summit with a bowl shape crater. Shield volcanoes are low and flat. Lava dome volcanoes have a dome shape.

∙ 13y agoCINDER CONE - These volcanoes form by explosive eruptions' that spew different sizes of volcanic material--called tephra--high into the air.
COMPOSITE OR STRATOVOLCANO - These volcanoes are built up from alternating layers of rock particles and lava.
CALDERA - Some volcanoes have enormous craters, called calderas, which stretch for more than a mile in diameter.
SHIELD VOLCANO - Nonexplosive, runny lava flowing over a large area may result in a shield volcano.
LAVA DOME - Domes are formed by the eruption of lava so thick and sticky it hardly flows at all.

Why do the different types of volcanoes have different shapes to them?
Because sometimes they have explosions and change shape.
What creates the shapes of different volcanoes?
The inner core and the liquid outer core does.
Why Do We Study The Shapes Of Volcanoes?
It's a lava fun
Do volcanos erupt differently?
No, not all volcanoes would erupt the same way. Some volcanoes erupt by explosion while others barely trickle lava down the volcano.

Why are there different shapes of volcanoes?
Because of how the plates compress.

well... nothing can be the same can it so that is why :)

What shapes are volcanoes?
Volcanoes are cone shaped.
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.
