Krakatoa is a composite volcano. It is tall and conical with steep slopes and a small base area compared to shield volcanoes, with viscous lava, therefore resulting in explosive eruptions.
Krakatoa is properly names Krakatau or Anak-Krakatau. It is not a cinder volcano, it is classified as a caldera volcano. It has an extremely explosive past, with the formation of a 7 KM wide caldera in 416 AD, that destroyed the previous island, and again in 1883 AD. This volcano is one of the most destructive and unpredictable types of volcanoes out there. Cinder cones in contrast tend to erupt only once forming often times a small to moderate lava flow and ash fall, but do not erupt again as they do not seem to have a sustained or developed magma reservoir.
No. Krakatoa is a stratovolcano.

Paricutin is a cinder cone volcano.
Mount ParΓcutin is a cinder cone volcano, not a composite shield volcano. It formed through a single eruption in 1943 and is made up mainly of pyroclastic material such as ash, cinders, and lava flows, typical of cinder cone volcanoes.

No, Santa Maria is a stratovolcano located in Guatemala. It is not a cinder cone volcano.
Krakatoa is a volcanic island with a caldera volcano. The caldera was formed during the catastrophic eruption in 1883, which caused the island to collapse and form a large caldera. Today, Krakatoa is composed of three main volcanic cones within the caldera.

No. I'm pretty sure it's a composite volcano. It's also a caldera, but that's not really a type of volcano.
