What is the name of the volcano that is built by thick layer of lava?
A shield volcano. Generally they have runny lava that forms lots of thick layers. The Hawaiian island volcanos are good examples.
Is the lava from a shield volcano thick or thin?
silica content
When a shield volcano erupts will it have thick or thin lava?
it wil have thin lava because the lava is "runny" and shield volcanoes are made from nonexplosive eruptions so they will be quiet when they erupt.
Does lava flow from a shield volcano?
Yes lava flows from a shield volcano.
How does a volcano gets its shape?
Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.

What type of volcano is most likely to form when magma is high in silica?
Lava high in silica (granitic lava) tends to be thick and viscous, so the volcano is likely to be composite rather than shield.
What kind of volcano is a composite volcano?
A composite volcano is steep, as thick, viscious lava spurts out. Because as the thick lava is dense, it travels very slowly down and cools down farly quickly. Because of this, the composite volcano is steep sided. It also emits a lot of ash and is less deadly than a shield volcano.
What type of lava comes out of shield volcano?
Basaltic lava.
What type of volcano is large and dome shaped?
A volcano that is shaped like a flattened dome is called a shield volcano. It exudes a thick lava, and flows slow enough that humans are able to outrun it.
Why do some volcanoes erupt while others erupt quietly?
This is because of the time of volcano it is and the type of lava it excretes. A steep volcano will erupt with basaltic lava which is runny and can clog at the top. A shield volcano, however is different as the thick lava emitted just glops onward.
What types of volcanoes be found in the Hawaii islands?
An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.
What are three basic shapes of volcanoes?
magma lava i dont now magma lava i dont now
