The shield volcano is characterized by its gentle slope. The cinder volcano produces a steep-sloped volcano. The fissure volcano is defined by an open fissure of magma and produces a gentle slope. The dome volcano is steep and thick with fast cooling lava. Composite and caldera are two more types.

There are two types of inactive volcanoes. There is the extinct volcano, which has shifted away from the hot spots and will no longer erupt. There is also the dormant type, which is moving away from the hotspots so there is much reduced activity, though there is still the possibility of eruption.
