I apologize for the incorrect options provided. The correct answer is cone volcanoes.
To find the answer to this question, we can start by narrowing down the options provided. The types of volcanoes mentioned are caldera, cone, cumulo, and shield.
First, let's eliminate some possibilities. A caldera is a large, basin-shaped volcanic crater formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. This does not fit the description of being one of the most frequently active volcanoes, so we can rule this out.
A cone volcano, also known as a stratovolcano, is a tall, steep-sided volcano built up by layers of hardened lava, volcanic ash, and pyroclastic material. While cone volcanoes can be active, they are not typically mentioned as one of the most frequently active types, so we can also eliminate this option.
Cumulo is not a well-known type of volcano, so we can assume this is not the correct answer.
This leaves us with the option of a shield volcano. A shield volcano is a broad, gently sloping volcano characterized by a large, broad shape resembling a warrior's shield. This type of volcano is known for its frequent eruptions, often producing large volumes of lava. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is shield volcano.
In conclusion, the correct answer is shield volcano.
