Is kilauea a composite volcano?

No. Kilauea is a shield volcano.Kilauea is a traditiional shield style volcano erupting very flowable basaltic magma. The volcano is one of the most studied and documented of any on the planet due to the ease of studying it during an eruption. The volcano erupts normally in a very placid style of spectacular lava flows across its surface. Altough Kilauea has posed a serious risk of property in the past it is often times able to outrun a lava flow from this volcano on foot at simply a brief walk.
