The basic shape of a volcano is like that of a cone with it's bottom faced downwards towards the earth and the top pointy hole part facing upwards towards the sky! However there is a type of volcano which has a plain shape and that is a dead or an extinct volcano!

∙ 14y agoVolcanoes have different shapes depending on the type of volcano it is. Fissure vents are merely cracks in the ground from which lava emerges. Shield volcanoes, such as Olympus Mons on Mars, ooze runny lava, thus they are much wider than they are high, giving a profile similar to that of a flat shield. Lava domes are conical in shape, whereas stratovolcanoes gradually slope up from the sides.
