Yes lava flows from a shield volcano.
It is a shield volcano. Rifts typically open in the seaward flanks, with lava fountains and slow-moving lava flows to the ocean.
No, shield volcanoes typically have relatively thin, fluid lava that can flow over long distances. This type of lava, often basaltic in composition, allows for the gentle, broad slopes characteristic of shield volcanoes. The low viscosity of the lava contributes to the volcano's shield-like shape, as it spreads out instead of piling up.
Shield volcanoes are commonly fed by hotspots, which are upwelling's of magma, rather than by being located on a plate boundary. The movement of oceanic plates over the hotspots is believed to be the cause of the eruptions. Shield volcanoes often have nearly continuous eruptions.
Kilauea is a shield volcano, which is a low-profile volcano shaped like a gently sloping shield. This type of volcano is characterized by its frequent eruptions of basaltic lava that flow long distances. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth.
A low, wide-based volcano is called a shield volcano. These types of volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by the gradual flow of low-viscosity lava. Examples include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Iceland's shield volcanoes.

A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.

An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.
A type of eruption that produces a gentle flow of lava is called an effusive eruption. In these eruptions, lava flows steadily and slowly, typically without explosive activity. The lava tends to have low viscosity, allowing it to flow easily across the surface of the volcano.
No, shield volcanoes typically have low silica content in their lava, which results in fluid-like, runny eruptions. This low silica content allows for the lava to flow easily and create the wide, gentle slopes characteristic of shield volcanoes.
the Philippines volcano's form thin layer of cooled lava but not really cold like freezing
the wider flatter kind of volcano
shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent
