Which volcano has the greatest slope?   Stratovolcano

which has the least slope?   Shield Volcano

Volcanoes are formed along convergent boundary and on top of the hot spot. When two plates collide, denser plate subduct and move towards the mantle. When it reaches the mantles it melts and becomes less dense and rise up to the surface to form volcanoes.

Three types of volcanoes:

Shield Volcano

Stratovolcanoes

Cinder cone volcanoes

Shield Volcano - are very wide volcanoes but not to steep. This volcanoes occupies the largest volume. In fact Olympus Mons from Mars is an example of shield volcano which is the largest volcanoes in our solar system.

Stratovolcanoes  - Consider to be the steepest volcanoes. Have the wide base and steep sides. Example: Mt. Mayon in Philippines and Mt. Fuji in japan. Both have crater.
