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!!
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
the volcano that has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava is the composite or stratovolcano.
Lava at the top of a volcano will generally flow downhill.
A'a is not a kind of volcano. A'a is a texture that a lava flow can take on, characterized by a surface covered in sharp fragments. There is no particular height to the lava flow, or height of volcano from which such a flow erupts.
The typical cone shape of a volcano happens when sticky lava erupts upward. Sticky lava creates a dome shape and the lava cools slowly.
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.
Volcano
The amount of lava and the thickness of the hole in which the lava rises up. Also the steepness of the actual volcano
The village threatened by the 1983 lava flow in Hawaii was Kalapana. It was eventually destroyed by the lava flow from the Kilauea Volcano.
Yes, volcanic eruptions affect the volcano. The lava being pushed out and reforming affects the volcano's internal and external structure.
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.
