Kilauea is a shield volcano.
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!Cone
The Lascar volcano forms basaltic lava, which is low in viscosity and typically erupts explosively, creating lava fountains, flows, and pyroclastic material.
The Shiveluch volcano has a stratovolcano cone, also known as a composite cone. This type of cone is made up of layers of hardened lava, volcanic ash, and other volcanic materials, resulting from explosive eruptions. They are characterized by steep slopes and a symmetrical shape.
It is a cone volcano.
A cone-shaped hill that throws out magma is called a volcanic cone or a cinder cone. This type of volcano is characterized by its steep sides and small size. When magma is ejected from a cinder cone volcano, it often forms cinders and ash that accumulate around the vent, building up the cone shape.
Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.

Mount Shasta is a stratovolcano, which is a type of volcano characterized by a steep-sided cone shape and explosive eruptions due to volatile-rich magma.
