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 is the shape of a volcano formed by fast-flowing lava?
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!!
What are three basic parts of volcano?
the lava, the mantle, the outside. so there you are you have the three basic parts to a volcano.
What source gives a volcano its energy?
The volcano is just a name of shape of the mountain that explodes with lava. The volcano errupts when lava is errupting from depths of the Earth and forcing the surface to blow up and then the lava comes out. When lava is pushing the surface of the Earth it changes it's shape and it goes up. The source is lava. \\~OverLordGoldDragon~//
How does the type of material that erupts from a volcano determine the shape of the volcano?
The shape tells a geologist how viscous (thick and sticky) the lava was. A taller volcano, such as a cone, was formed by thicker lava; a low volcano, such as a shield volcano, was formed by very runny lava.

How does the shape of a volcano affect the flow of lava?

What shape does sticky lava make?
The typical cone shape of a volcano happens when sticky lava erupts upward. Sticky lava creates a dome shape and the lava cools slowly.

The explosiveness and shape of a volcano is determined by?
The amount of lava and the thickness of the hole in which the lava rises up. Also the steepness of the actual volcano

Why does a volcano shape like a mountain?
When the volcano erupts, lava comes out and hardens on the surface of the volcano. If the volcano keeps erupting, then the hardened lava will create layers which cause the volcano to get taller like a mountain.
What are three basic shapes of volcanoes?
magma lava i dont now magma lava i dont now
What is a basic lava cone volcano?
Basic volcanic lavas are those which have a low silica (45 - 52%) and a high iron and magnesium content. The term "basic" in this context is somewhat outdated. Modern scientists generally prefer to call such lava mafic.
How mountains and volcanoes are alike?
They are alike in shape , but volcanoes have lava's
