Non-explosive volcanoes will have low concentrations of gas in the magma.
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
They are located at divergent boundaries and hot spots.
huge lava flows
Low viscosity mafic magma.
The techtonic plates come together and one plate will go down where the other will go upwards. this is what makes or causes volcanoes
shield volcanoes
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
They are located at divergent boundaries and hot spots.
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.

shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent

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.
What are the characterististicsc of the three types of volcanoes?
They don't the earth makes volcanoes
A shield volcano forms when layers of basaltic lava accumulate during a nonexplosive eruption. These volcanoes have gentle sloping sides and are usually characterized by their broad and flat shapes. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is a well-known example of a shield volcano.
