There are two types of volcanoes formed by liquid rock (lava/magma), one being a shield volcano that are spread out over a large area but are not very tall because of the lava being mafic in nature (very liquid lava) such as the types of volcanoes that formed Hawaii, and the other being a composite volcano which is formed by felsic (thick) lava, making them steep and tall.
