Volcanoes come in many types, such as scoria volcanoes (mafic, small, not very explosive),shield volcanoes (large, mafic, mild eruptions of large volumes of lava), composite volcanoes (large, traditional cone shape, most deadly), lava domes (felsic, explosive, usually found with other volcanoes), fissures ( lava erups through fractures, mafic), and canderas (steep-walled depression, very large).

The most common is the magmatic eruption, which can be explosive or non-explosive, where lava is pushed from a volcanic vent.

The least dangerous volcanoes would likely be shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes usually ooze out lava that slowly flows downhill. Explosive eruptions are rare.
