Mount St Helens is a Composite Cone Volcano (meaning it is infrequent yet violent) and Kilauea is a Shield Volcano (meaning it is not violent). A shield volcano is widely spread between two continental crust though Kilauea is on a hot spot. Meaning it is in the middle of a plate. Composite Cone Volcanos are located between oceanic plates and continental crusts.
