2. Volcanic Landforms
Shield volcano: A shield-shaped volcano with a broad base and gently sloping sides that is made of basaltic lava

3. Cinder cone: A cone-shaped volcano formed from lava fragments that have been ejected from a volcano vent

4. Composite volcano: A volcano made of layers of hardened lava flows and pyroclastic materials

5. Lahar: A fast-moving mudflow that occurs when the heat associated with a volcanic eruption melts snow and ice on top of a volcano
Caldera: A large, crater-shaped basin formed after the top of a volcano collapses
Lava plateau: A flat area formed from basaltic lava pouring from a crack in Earth’s surface
