Many things can form volcanoes. A shield volcano is formed by quiet eruptions of magma in the earth. The magma keeps piling on top of each other, forming a gently- slopping mountain. A cinder cone is formed when layers made of materials like tephra, ash, cinders, and bombs pile on top of each other to form a tall, steep cone-like mountain. A composite volcano is formed when layers of tephra, ash, cinders, and bombs alternate and pile on top of other layers of magma. This forms a normal-shaped mountain.
