Composite Volcanoes
These are made of alternating layers of hardened lava flows and pyroclastic material. During a quiet eruption, lava flows cover the sides of the cone. When an explosive eruption occurs, large amounts of pyroclastic material are deposited around the vent. The explosive eruption is followed again by quiet lava flows. Stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes, commonly develop to form large volcanic mountains.
Cinder Cones
These volcanoes has very steep slopes, close to a 40 degrees angle, and are rarely more than a few hundred meters high. These types of volcanoes are formed from small explosive eruptions and are made of pyroclastic material. This is the smallest type of volcanoes
Crater
Shield Volcanoes
Broad at the base and have gently sloping sides, this type of volcano covers a wide area and generally forms from quiet eruptions. Mafic lava flow out around the vent, harden, and slowly build up to form the cone. The largest volcano on Earth located in Hawaii is a shield volcano.
The funnel-shaped pit at the top of a volcanic vent, known as a crater, forms when an explosion happens. Craters usually becomes wider as weathering and erosion break down the walls and allow loose materials to collapse into the vent. Sometimes, when subsequent eruptions cause material to build up around the vent, it could form small con forms within the crater.
