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!

What is the normal shape of volcanoes?
Volcanoes are usually cone shaped mountains or hills.
How mountains and volcanoes are alike?
They are alike in shape , but volcanoes have lava's

What shape do Hawaiian volcanoes have?
They are shield volcanoes. This means that they are cone shaped but with very shallow slope angles forming the volcanoes flank.
How do volcanoes shape the Pacific Northwest?
volcanoes will erupt and let out lava then the lava will harden and that will be new land.
What type of vocanoes are there?
There are four main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and calderas. Each type has distinct characteristics based on their eruption style, shape, and composition.
A low bowl-shape is called what?
cinder cone volcanoes
What shape is a bowl?
cinder cone volcanoes
What are the thee volcano types?
The three main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite (or stratovolcanoes) volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gently sloping sides and are formed by layers of lava, while cinder cone volcanoes are steep-sided with a conical shape and are made of pyroclastic material. Composite volcanoes are a mix of both lava and pyroclastic material, with a classic symmetrical cone shape.
Name the different types of volcanoes according to their shape?
There are three types of volcanoes which have different shapes and types of eruptions. * Shield Volcanoes - are low and flat and have small, flowing eruptions. * Composite Volcanoes - are a mixture between shield volcanoes and cone volcanoes, their eruptions are explosive. * Cone Volcanoes - are the tallest and largest volcanoes, and they have VERY explosive eruptions.
How many different shapes of volcanoes are there?
There are three main shapes of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and stratovolcanoes. Each type has distinct characteristics based on its eruption style, lava composition, and shape.
What is the most common structure of volcanoes?
The most common structure of volcanoes is a conical shape with a central vent or crater at the summit. This shape is often formed by layers of lava and ash building up over time as the volcano erupts. Volcanoes can also take other shapes such as shield volcanoes or stratovolcanoes, depending on the type of eruption and the composition of the magma.
