Cinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone. Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit and rarely rise more than a thousand feet or so above their surroundings. Cinder cones are numerous in western North America as well as throughout other volcanic terrains of the world.

Well, the page linked below lists many of them, but you need to decide what you will count as volcanoes. You take for example Kilauea. Kilauea has erupted from several different craters in the last hundred years, including Halemaumau, Kilauea Iki, and most recently, Puu Oo. Those are a few miles apart. Is each crater a separate volcano?\n\nThe link takes you to a list that is mostly comprised of large shield volcanoes. The island of Hawaii is made of several of those, Maui's got two, Molokai's got three, and the island of Lanai is made of just one. Many of those shield volcanoes have smaller volcanoes on them. \n\nMany of the shield volcanoes like Mauna Kea or Haleakala  have cinder cones on them. I pass two or three on the way to work every day. Are you counting cinder cones? There may not have been a definitive census ever done of those on Hawaiian volcanoes. Diamond Head or Leahi on Oahu is a tuff ring. It was once probably a cinder cone, but do you count tuff rings? Is Diamond Head one of the 40 Honolulu vents mentioned on the page below under Oahu? I don't even know.\n\nDo you count underwater volcanoes? How about the Emperor Seamounts, which were probably formed by the Hawaiian Hot Spot, but which are underwater and stretch all the way north to Alaska?\n\nYour question seems like a simple one that should have a straightforward answer, but it's really not.

A volcano is a geological landform usually generated by the eruption through a planet's surface of magma, molten rock welling up from the planet's interior. Other forms of volcano include ice volcanoes (particularly on some moons of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune) and mud volcanoes. On Earth, volcanoes tend to occur near the boundaries of crustal plates. Important exceptions exist in hotspot volcanoes, which occur at locations far from plate boundaries; hotspot volcanoes are also found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on its rocky planets and moons.\n \nSmoking Bromo and Semeru (background) volcanoes on Java in Indonesia.\n\nMud volcanoes are formations often not associated with known magmatic activity. Active mud volcanoes tend to involve temperatures much lower than those of igneous volcanoes, except when a mud volcano is actually a vent of an igneous volcano.\n\nThe name "volcano" is thought to derive from Vulcano, a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy whose name in turn originates from Vulcan, the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology. The study of volcanoes is called volcanology (sometimes spelled vulcanology).\nContents [hide]\n1 Volcano classification \n1.1 Erupted material\n1.2 Shape \n1.2.1 Shield volcanoes\n1.2.2 Cinder cones\n1.2.3 Stratovolcanoes\n1.2.4 Supervolcanoes\n1.2.5 Submarine volcanoes\n1.3 Subglacial volcanoes\n1.4 Classifying volcanic activity\n2 Notable volcanoes \n2.1 Volcanoes on Earth\n2.2 Volcanoes elsewhere in the solar system\n3 Volcanology \n3.1 Volcano formation \n3.1.1 Tectonic environments of volcanoes \n3.1.1.1 Constructive plate margins\n3.1.1.2 Destructive plate margins\n3.1.1.3 Hotspots\n4 Predicting volcanic eruptions \n4.1 Seismicity\n4.2 Gas emissions\n4.3 Ground deformation\n4.4 Iceberg tremors\n4.5 Hydrology\n4.6 Remote Sensing \n4.6.1 Local Predictions\n4.6.2 Early Warning for Lahars\n4.7 Predicting future eruptions of Mt.

If the erupted magma contains a high percentage (>65%) of silica, the lava is called felsic. Felsic lavas tend to be highly viscous (not very fluid) and are erupted as domes or short, stubby flows. Viscous lavas tend to form stratovolcanoes or lava domes. Lassen Peak in California is an example of a volcano formed from felsic lava and is actually a large lava dome. This type of volcano has a tendency to explode when erupting, because the viscous lava traps volatiles (gases), which cannot escape easily. Mount Pelée on the island of Martinique is another example. Pyroclastic flows (ignimbrite) are highly hazardous products of such volcanoes, since they are composed of molten volcanic ash too heavy to go up into the atmosphere, so they hug the volcano's slopes and travel far from their vents during large eruptions. Temperatures as high as 1,200 °C are known to occur in pyroclastic flows, which will incinerate everything flammable in their path and thick layers of hot pyroclastic flow deposits can be laid down, often up to many meters thick. Alaska's Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, formed by the eruption of Novarupta near Katmai in 1912, is an example of a thick pyroclastic flow or ignimbrite deposit.\n\nIf, on the other hand, the magma contains a relatively low percentage of silica, the lava is called mafic or basaltic and will be fluid as it erupts, capable of flowing for long distances. Mafic refers to the chemical composition of the lava—it contains higher percentages of magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe), and correspondingly lower percentages of silica. Due to its low viscosity, v

They are small volcanos.

Well, a shield volcano is the shortest volcano, but it's not the one with the shortest diameter. Stratovolcanoes are.

A volcano possesses explosive power plus a flow of volcanic lava that tends to follow i hope that helps. It combines both power and flow but a different kind to that of water.

Composite volcanoes/ strato volcanoe.\n\nSome of the Earth's grandest mountains are composite volcanoes--sometimes called stratovolcanoes. They are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases. Some of the most conspicuous and beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes, including Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador, Mount Shasta in California, Mount Hood in Oregon, and Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainier in Washington.\n\n\n**Here is a personal tip my teacher taught us..depending on the plate it's sitting on and the boundary you will know how the plates strike and collide ...in the case of helen think of yr two hands being forced together straight on max pressure eventually your fingers begin to cave and slide up ward together... it looks olmost pointy and cone shaped right? just like St. Helen... This is assuming you know about plates and faults ....Hopefully you do..if bot disregard..

Each volcano eruption is different. There can be different consequences based on the location, size of eruption, amount of ash and gas ejected, amount of lava, whether or not a cone was blown out etc etc.\n\nUsually everybody is okay, and there is a bit more pollution in the air.\n\nSometimes, there is a "pompey"-like event occurs and and the total opposite of the abovementioned happens.\n\nHere is my favourite site: http://volcano.und.edu/

In a phrase, volcanic rock.\n\nEach volcano erupts constructively and destructively, and some of those constructive eruptions build the sides of the volcano.  The type of magma determines the color and shape.

I found a different website that talks about all the different types of volcanos.  There  are Shield volcanoes, Strato, Rhyolite caldera, Monogenetic fields, Flood basalts and Mid-ocean ridges.  There was also some interesting volcano facts that you might be able to use at the 2nd website below.
