Broad volcano with gently sloping sides?
A broad volcano with gently sloping sides describes a shield volcano. These types of volcanoes are characterized by their low, wide profile and are formed by the slow accumulation of fluid lava flows over time, which create a shield-like shape. This type of volcano tends to have non-explosive eruptions due to the low viscosity of the lava.
General shape of a shield cone?
A shield volcano is a roundish, moundlike volcanic cone with very gentle slopes.
What is the typical shape of a shield volcano?
A shield volcano typically has a broad, gently sloping dome shape with a large base and low profile.

The Hawaiian Islands are good examples of shield volcanoes.

The type of volcano is the shield volcano. Shield volcanoes can be found in Hawai'i.

Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.
