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.
Very broad volcano with gentle slopes formed from basalt lava flows.?
it is a shield volcano
What is a volcanic dome?
I don't know about viscous, but a lava dome is a steep-sided dome of thick lava extruding from a volcanic vent.a viscous lava dome is when the lava from the volcano contains alot of silica. Viscous=sticky. So the lava cools quickly of the sides of the volcano. And often a viscous lava dome volcano is explosive.
What slopes does a shield volcano have?
very broad volcanoes with gentle slopes formed by basalt lava flow are what shield volcano slopes have
What are gentle sided and steep sided volcanoes?
gently sloping volcanoes are called shield volcanoes and they are formed from many eruptions of lava that is relatively low in silica, so it spreads out in many thin layers and creates the gently sloping sides of a shield volcano.
Is a shield volcano the same thing as a cinder cone volcano?
No. A shield volcano is a large volcano with broad, shallow slopes formed from layers of lava flows formed by non-explosive eruptions. A cinder cone volcano is a small, steep-sloped volcano composed of pieces of rock formed by lava that was ejected explosively into the air.

A types of volcano with broad gentle slopes and built by the eruption of fluid basalt lava?
a shield volcano
What is a sheld volcano?
A shield volcano is a domed, broad volcano that has gently sloping sides. They are usually built from the eruption of fluid lava.

A steep sided mountain composed of alternating layers of lava and tephra?
This is called a stratovolcano or a composite volcano.
Is a stratovolcano a shield volcano?
No. A stratovolcano is a volcano with steep slopes consiting of layers of lava flows, ash, and pumice and is prone to explosive eruptions. A shield volcano is a volcano with broad slopes composed of layers of low viscosity lava flows and is generally not prone to explosive eruptions.
What kind of volcano is kilauea?
a shield volcano.... 1.huge in size 2.built by runny lairs of lava 3.a broad,gentaled shape cone
