No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.
Shield volcanoes are fed by basaltic magma.
Lava with high silica content will erupt explosively, if it has low silica content it will flow.
Lava that is low in silica tends to have lighter rocks come out of it.
Shield volcanoes produce low-silica lava.

Shield volcanoes produce low-silica lava.
No. Pillow lava is basaltic, so it has a low silica content.
Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
No. Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
A'a lava has a generally low silica content. Having low silica content means that it also has a low viscosity level. Having a low viscosity level means that it flows easily.
Basalt is a type of volcanic erock. It forms when lava that is low in silica and rich in iron and magnesium cools and hardens at or above Earth's surface, most often in the form of lava flows.
no. AA has a relatively low silica content level.
