They are shield volcanoes. This means that they are cone shaped but with very shallow slope angles forming the volcanoes flank.
There are three types of volcanoes which have different shapes and types of eruptions. * Shield Volcanoes - are low and flat and have small, flowing eruptions. * Composite Volcanoes - are a mixture between shield volcanoes and cone volcanoes, their eruptions are explosive. * Cone Volcanoes - are the tallest and largest volcanoes, and they have VERY explosive eruptions.

Most types of volcanoes are either crater shaped or cone shaped. Stratovolcanoes are shaped like tall cone mountains and shield volcanoes are more flat and spread out.
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
The three different types of volcanoes include the following; shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and the cinder cone volcanoes. These all have their names because of the size and shape of the out rocks of the actual volcano itself.
Erebus is shaped like most volcanoes -- like an upside-down cone.
Stratovolcanoes are the most prevalent on the planet, totaling about 60 percent of all individual volcanoes. Alternately layered with half lava and half pyroclastic material, they are commonly referred to as composite volcanoes.
