This document discusses four different types of volcanoes: 1. Shield volcanoes are wide and gently sloped, shaped like shields. The largest is Mauna Loa in Hawaii. 2. Caldera volcanoes have large craters and collapse inward after erupting. They fill with water and aren't very steep. 3. Composite volcanoes are steep-sided and erupt lava quickly. Most have summit craters containing central vents. 4. Compound volcanoes are formed from changes in eruption patterns or multiple vents. They consist of two volcanoes joined together.
