Shield volcanoes generally form from quiet eruptions. Layers of hot, mafic lava flow out around the vent and slowly build up to form the cone.
from lava that pours down from lava that pours down

Shield volcanoes form when magma with low viscosity flows easily to the surface and spreads out in broad, gently sloping layers. These volcanoes are built up by repeated eruptions of lava, which create a broad, shield-shaped volcanic cone. The gradual accumulation of lava over time gives shield volcanoes their characteristic shape.
