Shield volcanoes make up the Hawaiian islands. These volcanoes have low, broad profiles and are typically formed by the eruption of low-viscosity basaltic lava. It is easy to determine the type of volcanoes because of their distinctive shape and the lava flows they produce.

Which planet has most volcanoes?

The planet Earth has the most active volcanoes.Mars had the largest volcano known in the solar systemVenus had the most volcanoes.Io a moon of Jupiter has the most active volcanoes in the Solar System, with over 400.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Earth has the most active volcanoes where as Mars has the biggest volcanoe in the universe but the planet which has the most volcanoes would be Venus.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A difficult question as it depends on whether you include active, inactive or dormant.Including all of them, then Venus, followed by Earth and then Mars.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Forgetting planets, then Io a moon of Jupiter is the most active volcanic body in our Solar System with over 400 known active volcanoes.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Very easy answer . . . Venus has perhaps up to a million volcanoes. For sure it has more than 100,000 volcanoes - we cannot yet tell how many of these are active, or temporarily dormant.


Why was evaporation used to determine the mass percentage of potassium chloride rather than filtration or recrystallization?

Evaporation was used to determine the mass percentage of potassium chloride because it involves simply evaporating the solvent to leave behind the solid salt, allowing for easy separation and calculation of the mass. Filtration might not be suitable as it can lead to loss of product, and recrystallization is not necessary if the goal is only to determine the mass percentage.


What is more dangerous a volcano or quicksand?

Volcanoes are much more dangerous. Quicksand is dangerous, yes, but relatively easy to overcome by several methods. Stories of people stepping into quicksand and rapidly sinking out of sight are very frequently "elaborated".

Why can't all countries rely on geothermal energy?

Not all countries have access to geothermal resources like hot springs or volcanoes. Geothermal energy also requires significant upfront investment in infrastructure and technology for harnessing, making it uneconomical for some regions. Additionally, environmental concerns such as potential land subsidence or water contamination may limit the feasibility of geothermal energy in certain areas.
