What is the formation of shield volcanos?
Shield volcanoes are from by divergent boundary's.
How tall is a shield volcanos?

What is the name of the shield volcano?

What are the shapes and features of shield volcanos?
layers apounlayers of cooled lava
Are crystals sometimes made by volcanoes.?
they aren't made BY volcanos but they are made in the volcanos
How are shield volcanos made?
Shield volcanoes are formed by the gentle eruption of low-viscosity lava that flows easily over long distances before cooling and solidifying. As the lava flows, it creates a wide, gently sloping volcanic cone with a broad base. Over time, repeated eruptions build up the shield volcano to its characteristic shape.
What is the term for large volcanos gradually built from basaltic lava flow?
shield volcanoes
What is 4 types of volcanos?
Actually, there are three types: composite, cinder cone, and shield.
How are cinder cone volcanos same as shield volcanos?
Both cinder cone and shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava flows. However, cinder cone volcanoes are characterized by steep slopes, smaller size, and built up from pyroclastic material like ash and cinders, while shield volcanoes are much larger with gentle slopes built from numerous lava flows.
What is the smallest type of volcano shield composite or cinder cone?
In general, cinder cone volcanos are the smallest.
Why do cinder volcanos have narrow bases and steeper sides than shields volcanos do?
shield volcanoes have cinders that come out then land on it. that's what makes them bigger than cinder cone volcanoes.
How do you classify volcanic rocks?
There are three types of volcanos, shield, cinder, and composite volcanos. Cinder volcanos are the smallest, while shield volcanos are the largest. Composite volcanos are the most dangerous and the most explosive.
