It is a Composite Volcano (Stratovolcano) and is located in the Philippines
there is a type and its lave
Lava will cool to form extrusive igneous rock. The exact type would depend on the composition of the lava.
Shield volcanoes will erupt basaltic lava. Cinder cones erupt basaltic lava or basaltic andesite lava. Stratovolcanoes often erupt andesite lava, but may erupt basaltic or rhyolitic lava and all intermediate types as well.
They are all extrusive igneous (i.e. volcanic) rocks of intermediate to felsic composition.

It varies in composition, but is usually andesite, dacite, or rhyolite.

In terms of composition, basaltic lava is the most common type. When it flows it can be divided into two varieties: Pahoehoe which has a smooth, ropey texture, and a'a, which has a borken, jagged surface.
No, a lava lamp is not considered a type of optical device.

Much of Mount Rainier is composed of andesitelava flows. Lava flows may accompany explosive eruptive activity, but they occur more often after explosive activity declines. The term "andesite" refers to the chemical composition of the rock. Andesite lavas tend to be moderately viscous and rather slow moving: on gentle slopes, they may move much more slowly than a person can walk.
