A shield volcano, cinder cone volcano, and the composite volcano.

Shield volcanoes are on of the three types of volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have quiet eruptions and the lava is basaltic. Its slope is shallow compared to a composite volcano and a cinder-cone volcano. They are produced by hotspots and mid-ocean ridge.

Cinder-cone volcanoes are the second of the three types of volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes have explosive eruptions that release lava high in the air. They are created by tephra, volcanic ash. Its slope ranges between 30 degrees and 40 degrees. The lava is andesitic.

Composite volcanoes are the third type of volcanoes. Their eruptions vary from loud and explosive to quiet. Composite volcanoes cab rise as high as 8000 feet and are steep. An example of composite volcanoes is Mount Fuji. Composite volcanoes spew felsic lava and they are built up by layers of harden lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.

Why are there three types of volcanoes?

There are three types of volcanoes because each volcano is different. A shield volcano is a broader volcano that erupts lava at a slow speed, it can be avoided with a brisk walk. This volcano does not cause explosions. A cindercone volcano cause pyroclastic flows and are more rare than shield volcano, also, these volcanoes are the deadliest and cause large explosions such as the one on mount St. Helens. A composite volcano, is the two put together. It is in between on the size, and sometimes erupts lava and sometimes pyroclastic flows.
