What type of material makes up volcanoes with broad sloping sides?

Basalt lava forms shield volcanoes which are known for their broadly sloped flanks. This is because there is a low amount of Silica in the volcanic material allowing the magma to flow very freely giving the broad flanks as lava flows out.

Where is a cinder cones volcanoes located?
Cinder cones are the mountainous structure built up by some volcanoes. Most of the material that makes up the cone is ash and cinders expelled from the top of the cone.
What is the difference between a cinder cone volcano and a composite cone volcano?
cinder cone volcanoes are much smaller and grow in clusters they also naturally contain no lava composite volcanoes are large and cone shaped but you can rarely find two very close together the lava in composite volcanoes is high in silica and makes it thick and pasty which can clog up vents and cause very violent eruptions HOPE THIS HELPS!!:)
How do volcanoes affect local people?
because there houses will get burned and also so will they plus the ashes from the volcanoes makes it toxic and plus the smoke from the volcanoes makes it toxic
How does silica affect the shape of a volcano?
A high silica content of the magma will form tall, steep-sided, or cone-shaped mountains. A low silica content produces shield shaped or broad volcanoes.
What is extract volcanoes?

What makes volcanoes extreme?
They are hot!
What makes basalt?
cooling lava from volcanoes.
What makes composite volcanoes to erupt?
Ash and Gas make composite volcanoes erupt i believe
What makes volcanoes non-explosive?
Non-explosive volcanoes will have low concentrations of gas in the magma.

Why do cinder volcanoes have narrower bases and steeper sides than shield volcanoes?
shield volcanoes have cinders that come out then land on it. that's what makes them bigger than cinder cone volcanoes.
