It is very slow flowing lava, so slow you can't even see it moving. However this can change, as magma from below can produce a violent explosion.
Yes
When magma slowly rises up the inside the crater of a larger volcano, it forms a Lava Dome.
The verb for lava coming out of a volcano is 'erupt.Lava erupts from volcano then flows down the flanks.For very viscous lavas, the lava forms a dome in the mouth of the volcano (which, when it gets too big collapses to form pyroclastic flows), in this instance the eruption is a growth, dome growth!
I don't know about viscous, but a lava dome is a steep-sided dome of thick lava extruding from a volcanic vent.a viscous lava dome is when the lava from the volcano contains alot of silica. Viscous=sticky. So the lava cools quickly of the sides of the volcano. And often a viscous lava dome volcano is explosive.
Acid Lava Dome is a type of volcano that forms when viscous acid lava solidifies quickly to form a volcano with steep convex sides.
A lava domes is a structure that forms when a volcano extrudes very viscous lava that builds into a dome-shaped pile rather than flow downhill.
Lava Dome Volcano
Yes
A volcano shaped like a dome.

its the size my helens lava dome
Mt. Lassen is a lava dome type of volcano. The domes of lava dome volcanoes grows from within, and commonly occur within the craters or on the flanks of large composite volcanoes.
Lava starts building up underneath some surface (solid) materials. It is being pushed up by some underground forces. The upward pressure causes a dome like cap covering the 'liquid' lava. Eventually the lava breaks through and you have a volcanic eruption.
