How does a volcano gets its 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.
Is a caldera the same as a volcano?
No. A volcano is a vent or fissure in the ground through which molten rock, ash, and gas can erupt from within the Earth. A caldera is a large depression in the ground that forms during the most violent volcanic eruptions when a volcano collapses in on itself.

When techtonic plates collide and go apart magma from the mantle come up to the crust. Then after a long time of that happening the lava cools and forms new ground which builds up into a volcano. A volcano could be on land or under water.
