It depends on viscosity of the lava. the runnier the lava, the farther it flows before solidifying, so it cannot pile up as fast.

What is a shield volcano ?
the wider flatter kind of volcano
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
What are the colors of composite volcanoes?
The colors of composite volcanoes are brown dark brown etc
What are three facts about composite volcanoes?
Multiple eruptions form composite volcanoes. Andesite magma is the most common type of magma that erupts from composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes can grow so high that their slopes become unstable and collapse.
What is the steeply sloped side of a dune called?
a slip face
What part of a sand dune faces away from the wind?
The leeward or downwind side is known as the slipface.slipface
When wind creates a sand dune the sheltered side of the dune does what?
is more steeply sloped than the windward side
Why is waste piping steeply sloped to prevent solids from creating a barrier?
Depends what you consider "steeply" sloped as one can have pitch "slope" as little as 1/16 per ft if the diameter is large enough (8") BUT of course then your severely restricting how many fixture units (7.48 gallons) you can connect to this piping
