Are fissures are commonly found at the top of shield volcanoes?
NO
What types of volcanoes be found in the Hawaii islands?
An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.
What kind of rock is found in a shield volcano?
Shield volcanoes are made primarily of basalt.
On which continent are shield volcanoes located?
Shield volcanoes are found worldwide, particularly:North AmericaSouth AmericaEuropeAfricaThey can form over hotspots (points where magma from below the surface wells up), such as the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain and the Galápagos Islands, or over more conventional rift zones, such as the Icelandic shields and the shield volcanoes of East Africa. Many shield volcanoes are found in ocean basins, such as Tamu Massif, the world's largest, although they can be found inland as well.
How many volcanoes erupted so far?
well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins

Are volcanoes found everywhere on earth?
Volcanoes are found nearly everywhere on Earth. There are even volcanoes located in the United States. There are a handful of countries without them.

Are volcanoes found on the Earth?
yes
What are 3 kind of volcanoes?
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.
Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
Is pahoehoe lava only found in Hawaii?
No. Many shield volcanoes produces pahoehoe.
