its a volcanoe with a dome shape top it has bad eruptions.
Dome volcanos are compsite volcanos which have a lava dome in them. The lava dome is created when moulten lava is pushed up from below at slow rates and when it hits the air it cools making a crust. These domes can continue to grow and become quite large.

∙ 6y agoIt depends on the type of volcano.
if it's a stratovolcano (a mountain), it'll be tall and steep-sided.
Many of the largest mountains in the western US are extinct or dormant volcanoes. Some stratovolcanoes, such as Paricutin in Mexico, are cinder cones built mainly of ash.
In Iceland, ice caps and glaciers cover several volcanoes, which now erupt lava along the sides.
If it's a shield volcano, it can be tall but also very wide, with several distinct calderas (craters) and fissures around the base. Shield volcanoes are built of lava flows.
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are volcanoes on the (big) island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is technically in a "post shield" state, and has been dormant. Relatively small eruptions created cinder cones within the crater. Mauna Loa last had copious lava flows in 1984. Neither has had Plinian (explosive) eruptions like many stratovolcanoes.

∙ 15y agoA dome is a structural element of architecture that resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere.
To make the structure of a dome, make a sphere out of modeling clay, and cut it in half. The top part is the dome.
There are many different types of domes with different appearances in different cultures, like for example:
* Onion dome (Russia, turkey, india, Middle East)
* Saucer dome (india, pakhistan, iran, Afghanistan) Hope it helps!

∙ 11y agoA dome volcano is a round shaped mountain made of viscous lava. The lava has a high silica content that prevents the lava from flowing very far from its vent. Most domes are formed by dacite and rhyolite lavas.

What are the broad dome shaped volcanoes called?
shield volcanoes.
The broad slightly dome-shaped volcanoes of Hawaii are?
Most volcanoes in Hawaii are active, meaning that they still erupt. Volcanoes that are not active are referred to as dormant.
What are the broad slightly dome-shaped volcanoes called?
a broad-domed volcano is formed by lava flows. the amount of times the volcano has erupted effects how broad the dome would be, because when the lava flows it wears away the dome of the volcano.
These volcanoes look like a Roman shield since they are large and dome shaped?
A shield volcano looks like a Roman shield because they are large and dome shaped. They look like an upside down Roman shield.
Why did the Lassen peak volcano erupt?
Mt. Lassen is a lava dome type of volcano. The domes of lava dome volcanoes grows from within, and commonly occur within the craters or on the flanks of large composite volcanoes.
What are the broad dome shaped volcanoes called?
shield volcanoes.

What are large and dome-shaped intrusive bodies?
The largest igneous intrusive body is the batholith. Batholiths are enormous, sometimes more than 100 km squared in size, and often feed volcanoes.
The area that forms around a volcanoes central opening?
A bowl-shaped area that forms around a volcano's central vent is called a crater.
Animals with dome shaped shelter?
Beaver lodges are often dome shaped.
How is the cornea shaped?
The cornea is dome shaped
What type of volcano is large and dome shaped?
A volcano that is shaped like a flattened dome is called a shield volcano. It exudes a thick lava, and flows slow enough that humans are able to outrun it.
