Stratovolcanoes, also called composite volcanoes are generally not made of basalt. While they may occasionally produce basalt, much of their material is andesite or dacite.

What type of lava comes from what volcano?
Shield volcanoes will erupt basaltic lava. Cinder cones erupt basaltic lava or basaltic andesite lava. Stratovolcanoes often erupt andesite lava, but may erupt basaltic or rhyolitic lava and all intermediate types as well.
Which volcanoes are Massive gently sloping volcanoes built of successive basaltic lava flows?
Shield Volcanoes
What kind of lava forms shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are fed by basaltic magma.
Why are Hawaiian volcanoes shield volcanoes?
The Hawaiian volcanoes are shield volcanoes as they are broadly-sloping and composed of layers formed by basaltic lava flows.
What type of lava do shield volcano have?
Mafic, usually basaltic lava.
What lava is in fissure volcanoes?
Fissures usually erupt basaltic lava.
What are shield volcanos made of?
Shield volcanoes are composed mostly of layers of basaltic lava flows.
What type of lava comes from what volcano?
Shield volcanoes will erupt basaltic lava. Cinder cones erupt basaltic lava or basaltic andesite lava. Stratovolcanoes often erupt andesite lava, but may erupt basaltic or rhyolitic lava and all intermediate types as well.
Is Lava flowing from volcanoes in Hawaii basaltic magma.?
Yes!
What kinds of lava do volcanoes with lower viscosity magma produce?
They produce basaltic lava.
Which volcanoes are Massive gently sloping volcanoes built of successive basaltic lava flows?
Shield Volcanoes
What is the lava of cinder cone volcanoes?
A cinder cone has basaltic lava, which has a fairly low viscosity.
What kind of lava forms shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are fed by basaltic magma.
Why are Hawaiian volcanoes shield volcanoes?
The Hawaiian volcanoes are shield volcanoes as they are broadly-sloping and composed of layers formed by basaltic lava flows.
Shield volcanoes are almost entirely composed of this kind of very fluid lava.?
Basaltic lava (low in silica).
Why is it that pahoehoe and AA lava are more frequent in shield volcanoes than in composite volcanoes?
Aa and pahoehoe lavas are both basaltic in composition. The lava from composite volcanoes is likely to be granitic.
What type of lava do shield volcano have?
Mafic, usually basaltic lava.
