Volcanos have different shapes mainly because of the viscosity of magma rising from a central vent. (A.K.A resistance to flow) It can vary from hot syrup which is thin and watery to thick and pasty just like toothpaste. Some other factors that change the shape of a volcano is the material that the volcano is made of.
Volcanoes can have different shapes based on the type of eruption they experience, the composition of the magma, and the surrounding geology. Factors such as the viscosity of the lava, the presence of water, and the frequency of eruptions can all influence the shape of a volcano.

How many different shapes of volcanoes are there?
There are three main shapes of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and stratovolcanoes. Each type has distinct characteristics based on its eruption style, lava composition, and shape.
Why do the different types of volcanoes have different shapes to them?
Because sometimes they have explosions and change shape.
What creates the shapes of different volcanoes?
The inner core and the liquid outer core does.
Why Do We Study The Shapes Of Volcanoes?
It's a lava fun
What are the shapes of volcano?
Volcanoes can have various shapes depending on their eruption style and the material they are made of. Common shapes include shield volcanoes with gentle sloping sides, stratovolcanoes with steep-sided cones, cinder cone volcanoes with a circular or oval shape, and calderas which form when a volcano collapses into its emptied magma chamber.
Why are there different shapes of volcanoes?
Because of how the plates compress.
Why are volcanoes different shapes?
well... nothing can be the same can it so that is why :)

What shapes are volcanoes?
Volcanoes are cone shaped.
Name the different types of volcanoes according to their shape?
There are three types of volcanoes which have different shapes and types of eruptions. * Shield Volcanoes - are low and flat and have small, flowing eruptions. * Composite Volcanoes - are a mixture between shield volcanoes and cone volcanoes, their eruptions are explosive. * Cone Volcanoes - are the tallest and largest volcanoes, and they have VERY explosive eruptions.
Why are volcanoes diffrent shapes?
cos they are
