shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent
It was a Stratovolcano (Composite Volcano).

Mauna Loa is the shield volcano in the case studies that has nonexplosive eruptions every 2-3 years. It is located in Hawaii and is one of the world's largest volcanoes in terms of volume and area covered.
when some people think of volcanic eruptions, they often imagine rivers of red-hot lava, called lava flows. lava flows come from nonexplosive eruptions. it still spurts lava but non-explosivley!
Some volcanoes known for having only nonexplosive eruptions include Kilauea in Hawaii and Piton de la Fournaise in Reunion Island. These eruptions typically involve the lava flowing steadily rather than explosive ash clouds.
Nonexplosive eruptions typically produce lava flows, which are molten rock that emerges from the volcano and flows slowly down its slopes. This type of eruption is characterized by the relatively gentle release of magma and gas, without the violent ejection of material seen in explosive eruptions.

huge lava flows
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, results from alternating explosive and nonexplosive eruptions. These volcanoes are typically tall, steep-sided and are composed of layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. Stratovolcanoes are known for their explosive eruptions due to the build up of pressure from the alternating eruptions.
