What are the differences between the 3 types of volcanoes?
Active volcanoes are erupting or has erupted recently. Dormant volcanoes haven't been erupting recently, but may erupt in the future. They could be considered "sleeping". Extinct volcanoes will never erupt again.
Are cinder cone volcanoes similar or different from Shield and stratovolcanoes?
There are similarities and differences. Cinder cones are generally much smaller than shield volcanoes or stratovolcanoes. Like shield volcanoes, they primarily erupt basaltic lava. However, like stratovolcanoes they have steep slopes and are composed of material that has erupted into the air and been welded together.
Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?
Not necessarily. Shield volcanoes are volcanoes, but not all volcanoes are shield volcanoes.
What type of vocanoes are there?
composite volcanoes shield volcanoes cinder cone volcanoes spatter cone volcanoes complex volcanoes
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.

How do volcanoes in Alaska form differently than Hawaiian volcanoes?
The best thing I can do is to refer you to a website that describes the differences -- mainly differing conditions in the earth's crust beneath them. Look at the "Island-Arc, Oceanic, Continental Volcanics" section in particular.http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/PlateTectonics/description_plate_tectonics.html
