The type of volcano is the shield volcano. Shield volcanoes can be found in Hawai'i.
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
Multiple eruptions form composite volcanoes. Andesite magma is the most common type of magma that erupts from composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes can grow so high that their slopes become unstable and collapse.
Basalt lava forms shield volcanoes which are known for their broadly sloped flanks. This is because there is a low amount of Silica in the volcanic material allowing the magma to flow very freely giving the broad flanks as lava flows out.
Weathering is the gradual destruction of rock under surface conditions. The Aleutian Islands are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire and part of the Pacific Plate which has a high concentration of volcanoes.

What are the characterististicsc of the three types of volcanoes?
there are three and they are Active Volcanoes, Dormant Volcanoes, and Extinct Volcanoes.
A line that slopes to the right and up has a positive slope.
