hope this helps :)

Explanation:

There are actually 5 different types of volcanoes but we will only focus on the 3 main types.   The three types are composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes, or cinder cone volcanoes.

The cinder cones are small volcanoes with steep sides.   Even though they are small, these are the ones you probably hear about.  They are very explosive and made of ash and rock.  Most of the cinder cones are small and less than 500 meters high.  A famous cinder cone is Sunset Crater Volcano in Arizona.

A shield is a low and broad volcano that usually has a very wide crater (a dent in the Earth’s surface).  It is formed from thin layers of lava after consistent low-grade eruptions.  The largest volcano in the world is a shield volcano.  It is located in Hawaii.

Composite volcanoes are the tallest type of volcano.  They look very impressive but do usually have quiet and slow lava flows.  They sometimes have small eruptions that cause ash and rock to go flying.  One of the most famous volcanoes in the world is a composite volcano.  It is Mount Fuji in Japan
