False. The magma of shield volcanoes is silica-poor.
Shield volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times.
Shield Volcanoes erupt less violently and flows further then composite volcanoes. A composite volcano erupts more violently.
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
A+ Shield
Shield volcanoes form from extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times. This type of volcano has a broad, gently sloping shape resembling a warrior's shield, with low viscosity lava that can travel long distances before cooling and solidifying. Famous examples include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Paricutin in Mexico.
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.
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Because if you look at them from above, they look like a warrior's shield.
No, shield volcanoes are a specific type of volcano characterized by their broad, gentle slopes and low viscosity lava flows. "Volcano" is a general term that refers to any landform where volcanic activity occurs, encompassing a variety of volcano types such as shield, composite, and cinder cone volcanoes.
No. Compared to composite and cinder cone volcanoes, shield volcanoes are very short. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is a shield volcano.
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.
Kilauea is an example of a (shield) volcano.
