Most types of volcanoes are either crater shaped or cone shaped. Stratovolcanoes are shaped like tall cone mountains and shield volcanoes are more flat and spread out.

The main kinds of volcanoes according to shape are shield volcanoes, which have a low, broad profile; stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes), which are tall and conical with steep slopes; cinder cone volcanoes, which are small, steep-sided cones made of pyroclastic material; and calderas, which are large, basin-shaped volcanic depressions usually formed by the collapse of a magma chamber.
