If you're doing the volcano crossword it's a shield volcano. :]
A shield volcano has very broad, gentle slopes.
it is a shield volcano
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.
Yes. Mount Kilauea is a shield volcano. If you look at Mt. Kilauea at an angle, it will look like a big cone.
No. Granites is very resistant to weathering. it will often form very steep slopes and sheer cliffs.

This is called a shield volcano and an example would be Hawaii.

A shield volcano is a roundish, moundlike volcanic cone with very gentle slopes.

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!
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.
cow skin is the key u will enjoy it very much i hope my answer help u in sum way!!
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.
