Shield volcanoes. They are characterized by their broad, low-profile shape that resembles a warrior's shield. They are formed by the high volume of low-viscosity basaltic lava that flows easily and spreads out over a large area, creating the gentle slopes.
Galeras is a Strato/Composite volcano because of it's gently sloping sides.
A shield volcano has very broad, gentle slopes.

The slope of a volcano refers to the steepness of its sides, usually measured in degrees or as a ratio of vertical elevation to horizontal distance. Steep slopes can be indicative of a more explosive eruption potential, while gentle slopes often result in less violent eruptions. The slope of a volcano can have implications for the speed and direction of lava flows during an eruption.

a shield volcano
No. A stratovolcano is a volcano with steep slopes consiting of layers of lava flows, ash, and pumice and is prone to explosive eruptions. A shield volcano is a volcano with broad slopes composed of layers of low viscosity lava flows and is generally not prone to explosive eruptions.
The sides of a volcano are known as flanks.
