Generally a volcano will eject lava from the top of the familiar conical shape but many have smaller vents on the side which appear via cracks or fissures called 'dykes' which blow lava out sideways and form what are called 'parasitic cones' on the side of the main conical form of the volcano.

What is the shape of a volcano formed by fast-flowing lava?

Well it depends on how bad the lava flow is. If the lava is flowing slow then the shape of the volcano won't change much, But if it flows with force then bits of the volcano will fall off and change the shape of the volcano. Hope this answer helps!!

How is a Volcano built?

After many many years the rock grows taller and taller because the volcano keeps erupting and cooling, making the volcano bigger and bigger. Magma (lava) seeps through cracks in the earths crust, it cools and hardens to form a cone shape on the surface. This happens repeatedly over hundreds of years thus eventually forming the cone shape of a volcano.
