➣ AnSwer :-

The three types are :-

→ Composite volcanoes

→ Shield volcanoes

→ Cinder cone volcanoes.

________________________________

Composite volcanoes :-

  • They are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases.

________________________________

Shield volcanoes :-

  • A shield volcano is a wide volcano with shallowly-sloping sides.
  • Consequently, a volcanic mountain having a broad profile is built up over time by flow after flow of relatively fluid basaltic lava issuing from vents or fissures on the surface of the volcano.
  • Many of the largest volcanoes on Earth are shield volcanoes.

________________________________

Cinder Cone volcanoes :-

  • Cinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected 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 or oval cone.
