The three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are primarily formed from basaltic lava flows, creating broad, shield-like shapes. Stratovolcanoes, or composite volcanoes, are characterized by their steep profiles and are built from alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. Cinder cone volcanoes are the smallest type, formed from the accumulation of volcanic debris and ash ejected from a single vent, resulting in a conical shape.
