Most composite volcanoes have a crater at the summit which contains a central vent or a clustered group of vents.
A cone volcano is what most people think of when you say volcano; it looks like a mountain with a bit missing at the top. Mount Fuji is a perfect example of a cone volcano.
a cinder cone volcanoe looks like a ant hill
The closest thing I can think of is a Cinder Cone Volcano. They look like conical mountains
The cinder cone volcano is named after the type of volcanic material it predominantly emits, known as cinders. These cinders are small, rock fragments that are expelled during eruptions and accumulate around the vent, eventually forming a cone-shaped volcano.
A cinder cone volcano is steep-sided with slopes made of small, jagged rocks that are usually dark in color.
cinder cone volcanoes: consist of primarily erupted volcanic ash and rock fragments, or cinders. When the volcano erupts the ash and rock are ejected onto the mountain. As this process continues the volcano "grows" higher because of the debris build up.
Yes. Mount Kilauea is a shield volcano. If you look at Mt. Kilauea at an angle, it will look like a big cone.

From a distance a cone looks like an isosceles triangle.
Cinder cone volcanoes look kind of like a mound/donut shaped. from the side view, it looks like there's a donut hole at the top in the middle. From the top view, it looks basically like a donut from the top view. =)
A composite volcano is the most explosive type of volcano there is. Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Vesuvious in Pompeii are both examples of composite volcanoes, and look at the damage they did. a composite volcano usually has pyroclastic flows to accompany the traditional lava and ash.
Kilauea is a massive shield volcano located in Hawaii. It has a large, shallow summit caldera with active lava lakes and numerous vents that release lava flows on its slopes. The volcano is known for its frequent eruptions and dynamic volcanic activity.
