A shield volcano is low and wide.
Shield Volcano
Kilauea is a shield volcano.
because it has a dome shape
It is a shield volcano, which means it has a wide base and a low cone.
A shield volcano got its name from its shape. If you put a round shield from the medieval times on the ground, it would have a slightly rounded shape. A shield volcano has gentle slopes and base lava. The lava is runny and can travel a long way before cooling. Shield volcanos are normally less explosive than a Cone volcano. NatashaLouisex
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.
A shield volcano is a roundish, moundlike volcanic cone with very gentle slopes.
A shield volcano typically has a broad, gently sloping dome shape with a large base and low profile. This shape is formed by numerous eruptions of low-viscosity basaltic lava that flow easily over long distances, building up the volcano gradually over time. 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.
An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.
Yes....an active shield volcano.(:
