What kind of lava forms shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are fed by basaltic magma.
Do shield volcanoes have high silica or low silica?
Shield volcanoes produce low-silica lava.
What is wide gently sloping mountain made of hardened layers of low silica lava?
Shield volcano
What type of volcano is characterized by low silica magma and relatively nonviolent eruptions?
flood basalt, lava dome, and shield volcanoes do.
Do shield volcanoes have high silica content in the lava?
No, shield volcanoes are characterized by lava with a low silica content. Consequently, the principal hazard of the volcano is the lava flow rather than the eruption itself.
What is the shape of a volcano with low silica?

What type of lava flows easily?
Basaltic lava has a low viscosity which means it is thin and runny so it flows easily and spreads out.(:
What shape of volcano is shield volcano?
A shield volcano is low and wide.
How does silica affect the shape of a volcano?
A high silica content of the magma will form tall, steep-sided, or cone-shaped mountains. A low silica content produces shield shaped or broad volcanoes.
