Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Yellowstone's volcanic activity is due to a hot - spot. Hot - spot volcanism occurs when a stationary plume of hot mantle material rises through the Earth's crust. The Hawaiian volcanoes are shield volcanoes, which are broad, gently sloping volcanoes built by the eruption of low - viscosity lava. Cinder cones are small, steep - sided cones formed from volcanic ash and cinders during short eruptive episodes. Composite volcanoes (also known as stratovolcanoes) have steep cones with alternating layers of lava and pyroclastic material. Volcanoes in Alaska (many of which are related to subduction zones) are often composite volcanoes.

Answer:

For the first question: hot spot volcanos.
For "Volcanoes of Hawaii": Shield volcanos.
For "small basaltic cones from short eruptive episodes": Cinder Cones.
For "Steep cones with lava and pyroclastic layers": Composite Volcanos.
For "Volcanoes from Alaska and its islands": Composite Volcanos.
