Krakatoa is a composite volcano. It is tall and conical with steep slopes and a small base area compared to shield volcanoes, with viscous lava, therefore resulting in explosive eruptions.
Krakatoa is properly names Krakatau or Anak-Krakatau. It is not a cinder volcano, it is classified as a caldera volcano. It has an extremely explosive past, with the formation of a 7 KM wide caldera in 416 AD, that destroyed the previous island, and again in 1883 AD. This volcano is one of the most destructive and unpredictable types of volcanoes out there. Cinder cones in contrast tend to erupt only once forming often times a small to moderate lava flow and ash fall, but do not erupt again as they do not seem to have a sustained or developed magma reservoir.
No. Krakatoa is a stratovolcano.
