What is the name of the volcano that is built by thick layer of lava?
A shield volcano. Generally they have runny lava that forms lots of thick layers. The Hawaiian island volcanos are good examples.
A very broad volcano with gentle slopes?
It is likely a shield volcano, which is formed by the accumulation of numerous low viscosity lava flows. These volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the runny nature of their lava, allowing it to spread out widely as it flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Mauna Kea.
What kind of lava forms shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are fed by basaltic magma.
Form where do you think the shield volcano got its name?
A shield volcano got its name from its shape. If you put a round shield from the medieval times on the ground, it would have a slightly rounded shape. A shield volcano has gentle slopes and base lava. The lava is runny and can travel a long way before cooling. Shield volcanos are normally less explosive than a Cone volcano. NatashaLouisex
Is the lava from a shield volcano thick or thin?
silica content

Why do some volcanoes erupt while others erupt quietly?
This is because of the time of volcano it is and the type of lava it excretes. A steep volcano will erupt with basaltic lava which is runny and can clog at the top. A shield volcano, however is different as the thick lava emitted just glops onward.
Is the lava from a shield volcano thick or thin?
silica content
What materials make up a shield volcano?
Shield volcanoes are made up of primarily basaltic lava flows, which are low in silica content and therefore flow easily. These lava flows alternate with layers of pyroclastic materials, such as ash and cinders. The combination of these materials results in the low profile, broad shape characteristic of shield volcanoes.
When a shield volcano erupts will it have thick or thin lava?
it wil have thin lava because the lava is "runny" and shield volcanoes are made from nonexplosive eruptions so they will be quiet when they erupt.
What type of lava comes out of shield volcano?
Basaltic lava.
What is a shape of a shield volcano?
shallow-sloping sides its huge in size and is built by many layers of runny lava flows gentle sloping caused by the very fluid
