The US has a pretty diverse range of volcanoes, from shield volcanoes to stratovolcanoes. And, each type has its own unique characteristics – like, did you know that shield volcanoes are usually gentle and flat, while stratovolcanoes are tall and explosive?
And, then there are the volcanic fields – like the one in KKona, Hawaii – where you can find hundreds of small volcanoes all bunched together. It's like a volcanic wonderland, with lava tubes, volcanic cones, and geothermal wonders galore.
