Shield volcanoes are characterized by their broad, gently sloping sides and primarily produce low-viscosity basaltic lava, allowing it to flow over long distances. Cinder cone volcanoes, on the other hand, are typically smaller and have steep sides, formed from the explosive eruption of volcanic ash, cinders, and small lava fragments ejected from a single vent. Deposit refers to the accumulation of volcanic materials, including ash and lava, that can occur around these volcanoes during eruptions. Together, these types of volcanoes represent different eruptive styles and geological formations associated with volcanic activity.

scientists classify volcanoes in four general groups, Hawaiian, Strombolian, vulcanian, and peleean
The three main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gently sloping sides and are formed by layers of lava flows. Stratovolcanoes are characterized by steep sides and explosive eruptions. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes built from explosive eruptions that eject fragmented rock.
The main types of volcanoes are stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and lava dome volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes have steep slopes due to the alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and other volcanic debris. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the low-viscosity lava flows. Cinder cone volcanoes are small and steep-sided, formed from explosive eruptions. Lava dome volcanoes are formed from slow, viscous lava flows piling up near the vent.
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.

Cinder cone, composite, and shield
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.

There are six types: Shield, Strato. Caldera, Monogetic fields, Flood Basalts and Mid-ocean ridges.
The two main types of cone volcanoes are stratovolcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes are large, steep-sided volcanoes composed of layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. Cinder cone volcanoes are smaller, symmetrical volcanoes formed from pyroclastic material ejected during eruptions.
Here is a good article outlining the major types of volcanic eruptions, including diagrams:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_volcanic_eruptions
you say there is three different kinds of volcanoes when there are six different kinds of volcanoes
Igneous rock is found in volcanoes.
