3 Different types of Volcanoes

We found out information about the cone volcano, we found out that their lave is thin and runny and sets quickly. They can also be found underwater. An example of a cone volcano is Mt Fuji, in Japan.
We looked at the Caldera volcano, we found out their shape is like a oval dish, a hole in the ground.
We found out information about Caldera volcanoes, we learnt that when it explodes the volcano blows itself up to make a crater. An example of a Caldera volcano is Lake Taupo and Lake Rotorua
We looked at the cone volcanoes, we found out that their lave is thin and runny and that it does have a big explosive eruption and is built up over constant eruptions.
Our group looked at the shield Volcano, we found out they have very little gas and they contain lots of basalt rocks.
We looked at the shield volcano. We learnt that the lava that comes out of a shield volcano is fast flowing.
