2.2.3 The Lithosphere (KQ2): Types of Volcanoes

First, watch the following video introducing you to volcanoes, how they form and terms associated with them.  You know some from earlier (and maybe even more), but there is some new important information given.  You may want to watch it more than once and take notes!
