Haleakala in Hawaii is a shield volcano. Shield volcanoes are characterized by their gentle sloping sides and widespread lava flows, resulting from low-viscosity magma. This type of volcano typically has relatively quiet eruptions.
A dormant volcano is a volcano that is "sleeping," for lack of a better term. It is a volcano that is not currently active.
Silica will determine if the volcano will be quiet or explosive by building itself up in the volcano pipe, plugging it up like a cork in a bottle and then exploding.
