Answer:

Volcanoes can be described by their shape or type - shield or composite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volcanoes have distinctive features:

magma chamber - this is where the molten rock is stored beneath the ground

main vent - this is the channel through which magma travels to reach the Earth's surface

secondary vent - some magma may escape through the side of the volcano, particularly if the main vent becomes blocked

crater - this is found at the top of the volcano, where the magma erupts from
