Mauna Loa does not have slow gentle flowing lava
It is very slow flowing lava, so slow you can't even see it moving. However this can change, as magma from below can produce a violent explosion.
It is a shield volcano. Rifts typically open in the seaward flanks, with lava fountains and slow-moving lava flows to the ocean.
Thin, easy flowing lava is usually rich in iron and magnesium. Thick, slow moving lava is usually rich in silica.
Well it depends on how bad the lava flow is. If the lava is flowing slow then the shape of the volcano won't change much, But if it flows with force then bits of the volcano will fall off and change the shape of the volcano. Hope this answer helps!!
Quiet volcanos are ones that explode slowly. Two characteristics of quiet eruptions are slow flowing lava and broad sheets of lava. The lava from a quiet eruption stays runny and flowing for a longer period of time than an explosive eruption does.

No,Mauna Loa hasn't destroy any homes it has very low silica and slow lava flow

There are two types of lava in the Hawaiian language, the fast flowing lava is called pahoehoe, and slow flowing 'A'a

Generally, no. In unusual circumstances, possibly. If there were only a tiny bit of lava flowing at a very slow pace, then it would be conceivable that an average sort of tree could stop the lava.
Fast flowing rivers are more erosive and are light on the deposition of sediments. Slow flowing rivers allow for the deposition of sediment which create the meanders.
Shield volcanoes are very wide and very long. They are formed by the slow, elongated flow of lava. Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in Hawaii are two examples. Cinder cone volcanoes are smaller, more upright volcanoes formed by the fragments and remains of a magma vent. These rocks can be shiny like obsidian or occaisonally dull like the hole-filled black lava rocks.
