Answer #1

Mainly four types of volcanoes

Lava Dome volcanoes Smallest

cinder cone volcanoes

composite volcanoes

shield volcanoes Largest

If magma directly coming up from mantle have magic nature form shield type volcanoes eg hawaii so all oceanic crust volcanoes, mid oceanic volcanoes are shied volcanoes

When magma mixed up with continental rock increases the viscosity form the composite volcanoes eg MT fuji

Most of composite volcanoes occur on continental volcanic arc/ continental subduction zone

So continental volcanoes are more exploxive than oceanic volcanoes
