What type of eruption produces a gentle flow of lava?
Shield volcanoes produce fast flowing lava. They erupt frequently, but eruptions are gentle because the lava is so thin and does not trap gas in the volcano.
What volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times?
Shield volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times.
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.
Which volcanoes form from extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times?
A+ Shield
What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.

How do shield volcanos form?
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
What do shield volcanoes form?
Lava
Pyroclasic materials from shield volcanoes?
Pyroclastic flows don't come from shield volcanoes. They come from cinder cone and sometimes composite volcanoes. Shield volcanoes only erupt runny lava.
