What slopes does a shield volcano have?

Shield volcanoes typically have gentle slopes with angles ranging from 2-10 degrees. These low-angle slopes are a result of the highly fluid lava flows produced by shield volcanoes, which travel long distances before solidifying. This gradual build-up of lava layers over time creates the characteristic broad, dome-like shape of shield volcanoes.

Why do gentle eruptions of lava produce gentle sided volcanoes?

Generally, when a volcano produces a gentle eruption the lava has a very low viscosity (it is very runny). This allows the lava to spread out quickly after it has exited the volcano but before it cools and hardens. This means that the lava will be able to spread further from the eruption site and thus gentle slopes are created. In a strong eruption, lava with a higher-viscosity is thrown out along with some rock fragments, this lava cannot flow as far away before it cools and so the volcano has steep slopes. Hope that helps!


Can a creep occur on even very gently slopes?

Yes, creeping can occur on even very gentle slopes. Creep is a slow, gradual movement of soil down a slope, often imperceptible to the naked eye. Factors such as the type of soil, moisture content, and vegetation cover can all contribute to creep happening on gentle slopes.

How steep are shield volcanoes?

Shield volcanoes almost always emit very fluid or runny lava that spreads over a wide distance, so these volcanoes are not steep.Yes and no, it depends where and how the volcano forms, when it discombobulates, and so on.
