No. A shield volcano is a large, broad sloping volcano that forms over a long period of time as successive low-viscosity basaltic lava flows build on top of one another. A lava dome is a smaller, steep-sloped structure that forms fairly quickly as very viscous lava (usually rhyolite or dacite) builds up, but is too viscous to flow away.

Is a Dome volcano the same as a Lava Dome volcano?
Yes
Is a dome volcano the same as a cone volcano. if not - what is a dome volcano?
a dome volcano is not the same as a cone volcano. a dome volcano is a type of volcano, is a roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano. Usually it extrudes very slowly, but constantly. A cone volcano has an appearance of an upside-down funnel with a hole in the top which the lava shoots out of.
How are cinder cone volcanos same as shield volcanos?
A composite volcano is a combination of a cinder cone and a shield cone. The top of a composite volcano is steep like a cinder cone. The bottom of a composite volcano is flatter, like a shield volcano.
The hole in the top of a volcano?
The top of a volcano may be a peak, lava dome, vent, crater, or caldera (empty magma chamber), depending on the state of the volcano. The top of any mountain can be called its summit.
Difference between viscous and non viscous lava?
Viscous lava is very sticky and thick and is more felsic (ie it contains more silica) than non-viscous lava. This type of lava makes for a very explosive volcano, because it's so sticky that it sticks to itself and can't exit the volcano until it explodes violently. Non-viscous lava is more runny and is more mafic (has more iron, less silica). Volcanoes with non-viscous lava are less explosive because the lava just runs out slowly and no pressure builds. The Hawaiian islands are formed from volcanoes with non-viscous lava.

Is a shield volcano the same thing as a cinder cone volcano?
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.
How are cinder cone volcanos same as shield volcanos?
A composite volcano is a combination of a cinder cone and a shield cone. The top of a composite volcano is steep like a cinder cone. The bottom of a composite volcano is flatter, like a shield volcano.

How are lava plateaus and dome mountains the same?
magma extrusions, lava plateau on surface, dome underground then eroded.
What kind of volcano is mauna kea?
I think it is a shield volcano. Same with Mauna Loa
Name of a soap the same as a volcano?
I'm not sure about the name of a volcano, but there is a soap called Lava.

Is colima volcano a Cinder cone a shield or composite?
same ? here
Can a volecano fill in earthquakes with lava?
Yes, it can, if a volcano erupts at the same time of the Earth Quake.
What meterial makes up a volcano?
rock. same as a mountain. magma makes up the lava.
