What forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
Cinder-Cone Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes
What kind of volcano form from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
cinder cone
Does the lava that forms shield volcanoes probably have a lot of silica or water in it?
No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.
Does a shield volcano have runny lava?
In volcanoes that have lower amounts of volcanic gases in the magma. A good example is the volcanoes in the Hawaiian islands. Volcanoes with more gases in the magma tend to erupt explosively (Mt. St. Helens, Vesuvius) and have a thicker, slower moving lava.
Pyroclasic materials from shield volcanoes?
Pyroclastic flows don't come from shield volcanoes. They come from cinder cone and sometimes composite volcanoes. Shield volcanoes only erupt runny lava.

No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.
What kind of volcanoe is formed by slow lava flow?
Shield volcanoes.
What kind of volcanoes are there?
There are four main types of volcanoes. These include shield volcanoes, cinder cones, composite volcanoes, and lava domes.
Are hawaiian islands spatter cones?
No, they're shield volcanoes. The lava in spatter cones is highly viscous whereas the lava that forms shield volcanoes (that you can see flowing in Hawaii) has a very low viscosity. Shield volcanoes are low profile, broad lumps; these are the Hawaiian islands.
Shield volcanoes are almost entirely composed of this kind of very fluid lava.?
Basaltic lava (low in silica).
Does a shield volcano have runny lava?
In volcanoes that have lower amounts of volcanic gases in the magma. A good example is the volcanoes in the Hawaiian islands. Volcanoes with more gases in the magma tend to erupt explosively (Mt. St. Helens, Vesuvius) and have a thicker, slower moving lava.
What do shield volcanoes form?
Lava
Pyroclasic materials from shield volcanoes?
Pyroclastic flows don't come from shield volcanoes. They come from cinder cone and sometimes composite volcanoes. Shield volcanoes only erupt runny lava.
How steep are shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes almost always emit very fluid or runny lava that spreads over a wide distance, so these volcanoes are not steep.Yes and no, it depends where and how the volcano forms, when it discombobulates, and so on.
