When a shield volcano erupts will it have thick or thin lava?
it wil have thin lava because the lava is "runny" and shield volcanoes are made from nonexplosive eruptions so they will be quiet when they erupt.
What type of volcano forms from thin layers of cooled lava?
the Philippines volcano's form thin layer of cooled lava but not really cold like freezing
When a shield volcano erupts why will it have thin lava?
Most of the lava is liquid. Has very LOW viscosity
What are gentle sided and steep sided volcanoes?
gently sloping volcanoes are called shield volcanoes and they are formed from many eruptions of lava that is relatively low in silica, so it spreads out in many thin layers and creates the gently sloping sides of a shield volcano.
Is AAA lava thin or thick?
Thick.

Is you true Shield volcano form from many thin layers of lava?
No

Which type of volcano form a mountain gently sloping sides and is built almost entirely from thin lava?
A+ answer : shield volcano
What are gentle sided and steep sided volcanoes?
gently sloping volcanoes are called shield volcanoes and they are formed from many eruptions of lava that is relatively low in silica, so it spreads out in many thin layers and creates the gently sloping sides of a shield volcano.
Is AAA lava thin or thick?
Thick.
What type of lava flows easily?
Basaltic lava has a low viscosity which means it is thin and runny so it flows easily and spreads out.(:
What kind of rock does the kilauea volcano make?
Kilauea is made up of lava flows. Lava pours out of the volcano in thin sheets, building up the volcano over time.
How could you tell if a volcano makes felsite or basalt lava?
Thin lava
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.
Why are there different types of volcano?
there are different types of volcanoes for different reasons. how they form has alot to do with the type of lava said volcano produces. fluid basaltic lava tends to create shield volcanoes. spatter cones tend to form when hot erupting lava contains just enough explosive gas to prevent the formation of a lava flow, but not enough to shatter it into small fragments. hot expanding gas tears the lava into hot fluid clots.
