composite, shield, dome (acid lava cones)
composite volcanoes are steep sided formed from layer of ash and lava flows.the eruption from these volcanoes may be pyroclastic flows rather than a flows of lava.when they erupt they are explosive and cause threat to the nearby life and property.
shield volcanoes are low lying sloping sides and are formed from layer of lava.eruption are typically non explosive.
dome have much steeper sides than shield volcanoes. this is because the lava is thick and sticky.it can flows very far before it cools and hardens.
