Why do volcanoes shaped differently?

Volcanos have different shapes mainly because of the viscosity of magma rising from a central vent. (A.K.A resistance to flow) It can vary from hot syrup which is thin and watery to thick and pasty just like toothpaste. Some other factors that change the shape of a volcano is the material that the volcano is made of.
