Shield volcanoes produce fast flowing lava. They erupt frequently, but eruptions are gentle because the lava is so thin and does not trap gas in the volcano.
Low viscosity magmas that flow easily are associated with non explosive volcanoes.
well shield volcanoes have a gentle flow of lava?
WELL a pahoehoe and aa are created by a non explosive eruption
Pahoehoe and AA lava are produced by quiet eruptions. This means that instead of a blast or explosion, the lava just flows out of the volcano. Pahoehoe lava is hot and flows quickly. AA lava is cooler in temperature and doesn't flow as quickly.
canthentian volcano
The eruption that occurs at fuego is explosive with lava flows
No. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. It produces lava flows during its eruption but would almost never produce pyroclastic flows.
WELL a pahoehoe and aa are created by a non explosive eruption
The differences are that Pahoehoe produces fast moving lava; Aa produces slower moving lava. The kind of eruption that produces these types of lava is a quiet eruption.

No. A lava flow usually indicates an eruption that is not explosive.

The type of eruption that a composite volcano has is lava flow with cinders and bombs in an explosive eruption

Yes, there was a significant lava flow during the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. The eruption caused the collapse of the volcano's summit, leading to a massive explosion and the release of a pyroclastic flow. This flow melted the ice and snow on the volcano, mixing with ash and rock fragments to create a fast-moving lava flow known as a lahar.
