Well it depends on how bad the lava flow is. If the lava is flowing slow then the shape of the volcano won't change much, But if it flows with force then bits of the volcano will fall off and change the shape of the volcano.
Hope this answer helps!!

How does the type of material that erupts from a volcano determine the shape of the volcano?
The shape tells a geologist how viscous (thick and sticky) the lava was. A taller volcano, such as a cone, was formed by thicker lava; a low volcano, such as a shield volcano, was formed by very runny lava.
How does a volcano gets its shape?
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.
What type of lava does the bus-obo volcano have?
The Bus Obo volcano was formed by tephra and contains a type of lava called felsic lava.
What source gives a volcano its energy?
The volcano is just a name of shape of the mountain that explodes with lava. The volcano errupts when lava is errupting from depths of the Earth and forcing the surface to blow up and then the lava comes out. When lava is pushing the surface of the Earth it changes it's shape and it goes up. The source is lava. \\~OverLordGoldDragon~//
Why does a volcano shape like a mountain?
When the volcano erupts, lava comes out and hardens on the surface of the volcano. If the volcano keeps erupting, then the hardened lava will create layers which cause the volcano to get taller like a mountain.

What is volcano rock?
A volcano rock is rock formed from ash or lava erupted from a volcano.

How a shield volcano is formed?
shield volcanoes are formed by lava flows or low viscosity lava that flows easily...
How does the shape of a volcano affect the flow of lava?
SGV
What shape does sticky lava make?
The typical cone shape of a volcano happens when sticky lava erupts upward. Sticky lava creates a dome shape and the lava cools slowly.

Very broad volcano with gentle slopes formed from basalt lava?
shield volcano
The explosiveness and shape of a volcano is determined by?
The amount of lava and the thickness of the hole in which the lava rises up. Also the steepness of the actual volcano
Is a shield volcano the same thing as a cinder cone volcano?
No. A shield volcano is a large volcano with broad, shallow slopes formed from layers of lava flows formed by non-explosive eruptions. A cinder cone volcano is a small, steep-sloped volcano composed of pieces of rock formed by lava that was ejected explosively into the air.
