It's a shield volcano.

Shield Volcanoes Eruptions are typically non-explosive. Shield volcanoes produce fast flowing fluid [lava] that can flow for many miles. Eruptions tend to be frequent but relatively gentle.

What type of volcanos would be the most explosive?
volcanoes that have large amounts of silica The most explosive volcanoes are stratovolcanoes with felsic magama that has a high gas content. A. Shield Volcano- these usually form at hot spots and are like the ones in Hawaii. THey are nonexplosive because the lava is very runny. This would not be the most explosive. B. Cindercone-this would probably be your best bet although they erupt only once during their liftime. They are the smallest type of volcano and have steep sides. When it explodes, it shoots out pyroclastic material. C. Composite Volcano-this is also called a stratovolcano. It has both nonexplosive and explosive eruptions. THey can have many eruptions. IF the cinder cone was not what you were looking for, then this would be your second choice.
Why are scientists able to use rocks to be able to find out that a volcano is explosive or nonexplosive?
Explosive and non-explosive eruptions form different types of rock. Explosive eruptions tend to have fragmented rocks composed of cinders, ash, and pumice. Non-explosive eruptions usually produce lava flows, which tend to cool as solid sheets or channels of rock.
Which volcanoes form from extensive fluid lava form that erupts numerous times?
A+ Shield
What is the difference between a cinder cone and a stratovolcano?
A cinder cone is a relatively small volcano that erupts mostly chunks of a variety of basaltic lava called scoria. Eruptions are somewhat explosive, but not very.Stratovolcanoes form tall mountains and can erupt a variety of materials ranging in composition from basalt to rhyolite. These volcanoes can erupt either clouds of ash and pumice, or lava flows. They can produce highly explosive eruptions.
Do shield volcanoes form at hot spots?
Yes I am pretty sure.
How do cinders form?
Cinder cone volcanoes are made of pyroclastic material and most often form from moderately explosive eruptions.

How do red clouds form?
Normally from the Eruptions of Volcanoes
Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
Do basalt plateaus form from explosive or quiet eruptions?
Quiet eruptions are a characteristic of basalt lava flows and plateaus.
Why are scientists able to use rocks to be able to find out that a volcano is explosive or nonexplosive?
Explosive and non-explosive eruptions form different types of rock. Explosive eruptions tend to have fragmented rocks composed of cinders, ash, and pumice. Non-explosive eruptions usually produce lava flows, which tend to cool as solid sheets or channels of rock.
What do hot spots form?
flood basalts and volcanoes
Where do shield volcanoes form?
at hot spots(a place where volcanoes are very active)
How do cinder cone forms?
Lava is spewed out of a vent like a cannonball, forming a cone-shaped volcano.
How do convergent boundaries set up conditions that form volcanoes?
It collides with the upper mantle that forms volcanoes with violent eruptions
Which volcanoes form from extensive fluid lava form that erupts numerous times?
A+ Shield
Volcanoes that form far from plate boundaries form as the result as?
Hot spots!
