What s a shield volcano?
Shield volcanoes -Hawaiian volcanoes -red lava -usually oozing strait out of science notes...
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.
What usually is erupted from shield volcanoes such as kilauea Iki?
Lava
Why do cinder cone volcanoes have narrower bases than 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.
What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
What types of eruption does a shield volcano have?
Shield volcanoes usually produce effusive eruptions.
Pyroclasic materials from shield volcanoes?
Pyroclastic materials from shield volcanoes generally consist of basaltic lava flows and minor amounts of tephra, such as ash and cinder. These materials are typically low in silica content and flow easily, producing gentle, broad slopes characteristic of shield volcanoes. Explosive eruptions from shield volcanoes are less common compared to stratovolcanoes due to the lower viscosity of the magma.
How do shield volcanoes have wide bases?
Shield volcanoes are wide because they are made to function as an island, much to the surprise of many scientists. These volcanoes are enormously big, usually spreading out over 300 miles.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Why are the eruptions of stratovolcanoes usually more destructive than the eruptions of shield volcanoes?

Why are shield volcanoes named shield volcanoes?
Because if you look at them from above, they look like a warrior's shield.
Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?
No, shield volcanoes are a specific type of volcano characterized by their broad, gentle slopes and low viscosity lava flows. "Volcano" is a general term that refers to any landform where volcanic activity occurs, encompassing a variety of volcano types such as shield, composite, and cinder cone volcanoes.
