Cinder Cone Volcanoes
Cinder Cone Volcanoes are the simplest type of volcano. They have steep slopes, wide craters, and are the most abundant of the three major volcano types. They are built from particles and blobs of solidified lava ejected from a single vent. Lava is thrown into the air, which breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone.
Examples of this type in the Philippines are Taal Volcano in Batangas, Smith Volcano found in Babuyan Group of Islands, Mount Mayabobo found in Quezon Province, and Mount Musuan in Bukidnon. An example of this outside of the Philippines is the Paricutin volcano in Mexico.

Shield Volcanoes
Shield Volcanoes are large, broad volcanoes that look similar to shields from above. They are tall and broad, with flat, rounded shapes. They are built almost entirely of fluid lava flow thus these volcanoes are not steep. The lava is not accompanied by pyroclastic materials, which makes shield volcanoes relatively safe. Eruptions at shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent.
Examples are Mauna Loa which is the largest active volcano on the planet and Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
