This document discusses different types of volcanoes including cinder cone volcanoes which form steep conical hills of loose pyroclastic fragments and ash; composite volcanoes which are steep-sided cones built up by many layers of hardened lava, ash-flow tuff, and debris; and shield volcanoes which are broad, gently sloping mountains built of fluid lava flows that overlap each other to form a shield-like shape.
