TYPES OF

VOLCANOBASED ON
STRUCTURE

ES
CINDER CONE
VOLCANO
• the simplest type of volcano
• built from particles and blobs
of solidified lava ejected from
a single vent
• Lava fragments solidify in the
air and fall as cinders around
the vent
• the most common among the
three types
CINDER CONE
VOLCANO
• Shape: Small and cone-
shaped, with a crater at
the top.
• Lava type: Thick and
shoots out as small
chunks called cinders.
• The smallest volcanic
landform among three
types
CINDER CONE
VOLCANO
COMPOSITE
VOLCANO
• Also known as Stratovolcano
• tructure: Large, steep-sided,
symmetrical cones with
alternating layers of lava, ash,
cinders, blocks, and
pyroclastic materials.
COMPOSITE
VOLCANO
• Formation: Built from viscous
(sticky) lava that doesn’t flow
easily, causing the buildup of
steep sides.
• Key Feature: Conduit system
through which magma rises to
the surface.
SHIELD
VOLCANO
• Large, broad, and flat with a
rounded shape, resembling a
shield.
• Formation: Built almost entirely
of fluid lava flows, resulting in
gentle slopes.
SHIELD
VOLCANO
• Eruptions produce only lava
without pyroclastic materials,
making them relatively safe.
• Eruption Style: Non-explosive,
except when water enters the
vent.
