What is the slope for the shield volcano?
A shield volcano has very broad, gentle slopes.
What slopes does a shield volcano have?
very broad volcanoes with gentle slopes formed by basalt lava flow are what shield volcano slopes have
Very broad volcano with gentle slopes formed from basalt lava flows.?
it is a shield volcano
Why is Mauna Loa a shield volcano?
Yes. Mount Kilauea is a shield volcano. If you look at Mt. Kilauea at an angle, it will look like a big cone.
Does granite form gentle slopes?
No. Granites is very resistant to weathering. it will often form very steep slopes and sheer cliffs.

What is very broad volcanoes with gentle slopes form from basalt lava flows?
This is called a shield volcano and an example would be Hawaii.
General shape of a shield cone?
A shield volcano is a roundish, moundlike volcanic cone with very gentle slopes.
Why is Mauna Loa a shield volcano?
Yes. Mount Kilauea is a shield volcano. If you look at Mt. Kilauea at an angle, it will look like a big cone.

Would the typemagma mean the Eyjafjallajokull Volcano has high medium or low in viscosity?
And what was the type magma from the eyjafjell volcano? It was BASALTIC and baslatic magma is a LOW viscosity, which means when erupted the lava flows easily on very gentle slopes.
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!
Is Mount Kilauea violent or gentle?
violent and very active what volcano is not violent
Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientist make a distinction?
Because it all depends on what type of volcano it is, if it is a shield volcano low and flat it's eruptions will be gentle. But if it is a cone volcano tall and steep it's eruptions will be very violent.
