➣ 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.
