A tall and broad, very gentle sloped volcano of layers of fluid lava erupted from the central vent: Shield volcano
A large depression (few km to tens of km in diameter) formed during a cataclysmic explosive eruption: Caldera
A small dome shaped structure formed by extrusion of very viscous felsic lava: Lava dome
A large volcano formed by alternating layers of lava and pyroclasts: Strato volcano
A very wide flat area formed by the accumulation of layers of basaltic lava erupted from fissures: Lava plateau
A small volcano with steep slopes formed by the accumulation of loose scoria: Cinder cone.
