Is a shield volcano an active volcano?
A shield volcano can be active, dormant, or extinct. It is characterized by gentle sloping sides and a broad, flat profile, formed by the accumulation of fluid lava flows. Some famous shield volcanoes, like Mauna Loa in Hawaii, are active and regularly erupt.
What is a non-active volcano called?
A shield volcano most commonly found at hot-spots and island chains such as Hawaii they have shallow flanks, a wide base, and runny lava which is frequently erupted, so it is non-explosive because there is little pressure build up

Volcanoes that are quiet are what kind of volcanoes?
Quiet volcanoes can be either dormant or extinct. An extinct volcano, as you may have guessed, has not erupted for a very long period of time and will not erupt in the future. A dormant volcano, however, is just sleeping. You probably get up all groggy after a good sleep.If you mean volcanoes that erupt quietly, as in not explosively, then those are generally shield volcanoes.
What percentage of Hawaii's volcanoes?
Approximately 90% of Hawaii's volcanoes are classified as shield volcanoes, which are characterized by their broad, gentle slopes formed by the eruption of low-viscosity basalt lava. The most famous of these is Mauna Loa, one of the world's largest volcanoes. In total, Hawaii has around 5 active volcanoes, with the rest being extinct or dormant.
Classification of Volcano according to activity?
There are ten types of volcanoes. The types of volcano are as follows: fissure vents, shield volcanoes, lava domes, crypto-domes, volcanic cones, stratovolcanoes, super-volcanoes, submarine volcanoes, subglacial volcanoes, and mud volcanoes.
What is a non-active volcano called?
A shield volcano most commonly found at hot-spots and island chains such as Hawaii they have shallow flanks, a wide base, and runny lava which is frequently erupted, so it is non-explosive because there is little pressure build up
Volcano that is unlikely to erupt again?
An extinct volcano is one that will never erupt again.
The broad slightly dome-shaped volcanoes of Hawaii are?
known as shield volcanoes. They are characterized by their gentle sloping sides and broad, flattened profiles. These volcanoes are formed by quiet eruptions of low-viscosity lava that travels long distances before solidifying, creating a shield-like shape.
What are the three types of volcanoes are called?
•Volcanoes are found in three different states-•Active which means: Erupted recently and expected to erupt again.•Dormant which is: A volcano which has not erupted in recorded history.•Extinct this means: A volcano which is never going to erupt again.
