Fissures usually erupt basaltic lava.
A long crack from which lava flows through is called a fissure. These fissures can be found along volcanic zones and can release lava during volcanic eruptions.
Fissure volcanoes are characterized by their linear volcanic eruptions, where lava emerges from long cracks in the Earth's crust. Notable examples include the East African Rift, where fissure eruptions have created extensive lava fields, and the Laki fissure in Iceland, which erupted in 1783 and caused significant climate effects. Other examples can be found in the Columbia River Basalt Group in the United States and the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, which has multiple fissure vents.

No, volcanoes do not need lava to be volcanoes.
NO, volcanoes make lava.
There are ten types of volcanoes. The types of volcano are as follows: fissure vents, shield volcanoes, lava domes, crypto-domes, volcanic cones, stratovolcanoes, super-volcanoes, submarine volcanoes, subglacial volcanoes, and mud volcanoes.
A shield volcano is a type of volcano usually built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. They are named for their large size and low profile, resembling a warrior's shield. This is caused by the highly fluid lava they erupt, which travels farther than lava erupted from more explosive volcanoes. This results in the steady accumulation of broad sheets of lava, building up the shield volcano's distinctive form. Shield volcanoes contain low viscosity magmamaking it have flowing mafic lava.
Fissure eruptions occur when magma flows up through cracks in the ground and leaks out onto the surface. These often occur where plate movement has caused large fractures in the earth's crust, and may also spring up around the base of a volcano with a central vent. Fissure eruptions are characterized by a curtain of fire, a curtain of lava spewing out to a small height above the ground. Fissure eruptions can produce very heavy flows, though the lava is generally slow moving. They are usually at the base of a volcano or at the mid ocean ridge, but often at other volcanoes, such as the Hawaiian volcanoes, as well. (credit to yahoo answers too.)
lava
The lava that flows from a crack in the Earth's surface is called fissure or fissure lava. It typically arises from volcanic eruptions along long cracks in the ground, known as fissures, rather than a central volcanic vent.
volcanoes will erupt and let out lava then the lava will harden and that will be new land.
