What is the shape of a volcano formed by fast-flowing lava?
Well it depends on how bad the lava flow is. If the lava is flowing slow then the shape of the volcano won't change much, But if it flows with force then bits of the volcano will fall off and change the shape of the volcano. Hope this answer helps!!
What are three basic parts of volcano?
the lava, the mantle, the outside. so there you are you have the three basic parts to a volcano.
How does a volcano gets its shape?
Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.
Why does a volcano shape like a mountain?
When the volcano erupts, lava comes out and hardens on the surface of the volcano. If the volcano keeps erupting, then the hardened lava will create layers which cause the volcano to get taller like a mountain.
How mountains and volcanoes are alike?
They are alike in shape , but volcanoes have lava's

How does the shape of a volcano affect the flow of lava?

What shape does sticky lava make?
The typical cone shape of a volcano happens when sticky lava erupts upward. Sticky lava creates a dome shape and the lava cools slowly.

The explosiveness and shape of a volcano is determined by?
The amount of lava and the thickness of the hole in which the lava rises up. Also the steepness of the actual volcano

How does the shape of volcano affected by the flow of lava?
Basically the way volcanoes errupt is determined by two factors 1) The amount of gas dissolved in the magma. 2) The viscosity of the magma - which is in turn determined by the temperature of the magma and how basic or acidic its composition is. Runny magmas are usually basic and thick magmas are usually acidic. The amount of magma (available to erupt) in the higher level magma chambers also has some effect on the eruption progress, as does the shape and stability of the volcano (e.g. with Mt St Helen's one side of the volcano collapsed, exposing the magma chamber).
How does a volcano shape earth?
A volcano shapes the earth because when a volcano erupts, the lava hardens, forming new land on the earth's surface
How does the type of material that erupts from a volcano determine the shape of the volcano?
The shape tells a geologist how viscous (thick and sticky) the lava was. A taller volcano, such as a cone, was formed by thicker lava; a low volcano, such as a shield volcano, was formed by very runny lava.
What is a basic lava cone volcano?
Basic volcanic lavas are those which have a low silica (45 - 52%) and a high iron and magnesium content. The term "basic" in this context is somewhat outdated. Modern scientists generally prefer to call such lava mafic.
