When a shield volcano erupts will it have thick or thin lava?
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.
Is a shield volcano nonexplosive or explosive?
shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent
Volcanoes that form at hot spots from many non explosive eruptions?
It's a shield volcano. Curtesy of a quick google search [from geography.learnontheinternet.co.uk] 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.
Is a shield volcano quiet or loud?
No, they produce very explosive eruptions. They do not erupt much magma, instead exuding chunks of ash and semi-hardened igneous rock.

Generally not. Explosive eruptions may happen occasionally, but most eruptions are effusive.

Which volcano is usually made in science projects?
It's a shield volcano because of its frequent gentle eruptions
