No. A shield volcano is a large volcano with broad, shallow slopes formed from layers of lava flows formed by non-explosive eruptions. A cinder cone volcano is a small, steep-sloped volcano composed of pieces of rock formed by lava that was ejected explosively into the air.

Broad volcano with gently sloping sides?

A broad volcano with gently sloping sides describes a shield volcano. These types of volcanoes are characterized by their low, wide profile and are formed by the slow accumulation of fluid lava flows over time, which create a shield-like shape. This type of volcano tends to have non-explosive eruptions due to the low viscosity of the lava.


A very broad volcano with gentle slopes?

It is likely a shield volcano, which is formed by the accumulation of numerous low viscosity lava flows. These volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the runny nature of their lava, allowing it to spread out widely as it flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Mauna Kea.
