1 The different types of volcanoes Taylor karkkainen

2 Cinder cones Cinder cones are the most common type of volcano. They are built from pieces of congealed lava launched from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular cone.

3 Composite volcanoes They are typically very steep, symmetrical cones and usually make the the biggest volcanoes. They may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases.

4 Shield volcanoes Shield volcanoes are made of mostly of fluid lava flowers. Shield volcanoes usually erupt from vents along the sides. Shield volcanoes are what makes up the Hawaiian islands.
