A+ Shield
What is the difference between a composite and shield a Volcano?
Shield Volcanoes erupt less violently and flows further then composite volcanoes. A composite volcano erupts more violently.
What are the three types of volcanoes and what are the difference?
cinder strato and shield shield is the least dangerous and the lava slowly flowsa down cinder erupts tephra not lava like a shield and is cone shaped strato is the most dangerous it erupts both tephra and lava
Which volcanoes form from extensive fluid lava form that erupts numerous times?
A+ Shield
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.
Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?
Not necessarily. Shield volcanoes are volcanoes, but not all volcanoes are shield volcanoes.
What happens when a shield volcano erupts?
Shield volcanoes are commonly fed by hotspots, which are upwelling's of magma, rather than by being located on a plate boundary. The movement of oceanic plates over the hotspots is believed to be the cause of the eruptions. Shield volcanoes often have nearly continuous eruptions.
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.
What type of volcanoes formed the Hawaiian islands?
The Hawiian islands are formed by shield volcanoes.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
