What are the Kinds of volcanoes according to shape?

The main kinds of volcanoes according to shape are shield volcanoes, which have a low, broad profile; stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes), which are tall and conical with steep slopes; cinder cone volcanoes, which are small, steep-sided cones made of pyroclastic material; and calderas, which are large, basin-shaped volcanic depressions usually formed by the collapse of a magma chamber.
