Pahoehoe and a'a are textural variaties of basaltic lava, which has a low viscosity, meaning it flows fairly easily. This is the reason for the gentle slopes of shield volcanoes.

Where would you find would a shield volcano?
I know that Hawaii is made up of shield volcanoes, so the answer to your question would be U.S.A.
Would How do volcanoes erupt be an acceptable topic for a science fair project?
yes
Are all volcanoes destructive?
Volcanoes are only destructive to people and property when they erupt. Volcanoes can lie dormant for decades before they erupt. The Hawaiian Islands were all formed from eruptions of volcanoes in the ocean.
Is pahoehoe a type of lava?
No. Mount St Helens would produce block lava flows rather than pahhoehoe or a'a because of the high silica content. Currently there are no lava flows on that volcano but there is a lava dome made primarily of dacite.
Do volcanoes have a certain time when they erupt?
Although incredibly unlikely, it could happen.
Do volcanoes erupt after a hurricane?
No. At least hurricanes do not cause volcanoes to erupt. The two are unrelated. A volcano could erupt after a hurricane strikes, but the timing would simply be a coincidence.

How will you volcanoes with no record of erupt?
They would be classified as extinct. Volcanoes with recorded eruptions - but nothing 'recent' would be classed as dormant.
Do all volcanos erupt?
no all the volcanoes do not erupt.there are three types of volcanoes extinct,average and active. no because there are dome mountains that do not erupt and they are full of lava and they will erupt in more or less than 300 years.
Why do you have volcanoes?
Well, if volcanoes didn't exist, neither would the earth. Since volcanoes helped build the earth.
Can volcanoes erupt under water?
Yes. If this did not happen we would not have volcanic islands.
Would How do volcanoes erupt be an acceptable topic for a science fair project?
yes
What is a volcano that is unlikely to erupt?
Volcanoes can be either active, dormant, or extinct. Dormant would be the closest match to the description "unlikely to erupt".

Do volcanos erupt differently?
No, not all volcanoes would erupt the same way. Some volcanoes erupt by explosion while others barely trickle lava down the volcano.
