What are the broad slightly dome-shaped volcanoes called?
a broad-domed volcano is formed by lava flows. the amount of times the volcano has erupted effects how broad the dome would be, because when the lava flows it wears away the dome of the volcano.
What are the broad dome shaped volcanoes called?
shield volcanoes.
Broad volcano with gently sloping sides?
This is called a shield volcano and an example would be Hawaii.
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 is the typical shape of a shield volcano?
Shield volcanoes are in the shape of a shield. Hence, the name shield volcano! Shield volcanoes are tall and broad with flat rounded shapes. They have low slpes and almost always have large craters. Shield volcanoes form from eruptions of flowing lava. THe lava spreads out and builds up volcanoes with broad, gently, sloping sides. One example of a shield volcano is the Hawaiian Islands.

What is very broad volcanoes with gentle slopes form from basalt lava flows?
This is called a shield volcano and an example would be Hawaii.
What are the broad dome shaped volcanoes called?
shield volcanoes.
Are hawaiian islands spatter cones?
No, they're shield volcanoes. The lava in spatter cones is highly viscous whereas the lava that forms shield volcanoes (that you can see flowing in Hawaii) has a very low viscosity. Shield volcanoes are low profile, broad lumps; these are the Hawaiian islands.

Is a shield volcano pointed?
No. Shield volcanoes have broad, shallow slopes.
Are shield volcanoes one of the worlds biggest volcanoes?
They are the largest volcanoes in the world. They cover very broad areas. The largest volcano in the world, Mauna Loa is a shield volcano.
Silica-rich magma erupts from the shield volcanoes giving them there broad flat shape?
False. The magma of shield volcanoes is silica-poor.
