There are many different types of volcanoes, their structure and behavior depending on a number of important factors.

For instance, fissure vents are flat cracks where lava bubbles out, while subglacial volcanoes develop under icecaps, and mud volcanoes are created by geo-excreted liquids and gases. Each type of volcano releases different material from lava and ash to steam and rocky debris.
