Three volcanoes are considered as active: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai (without submarine volcanoes).

Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano and many are now extinct.

Because the complete list is long see the link below.

What type of volcanoes are the broad slightly dome shaped volcanoes of Hawaii?

The broad, slightly dome-shaped volcanoes of Hawaii are known as shield volcanoes. They are characterized by their gentle slopes, which result from the eruption of low-viscosity basaltic lava that can flow over long distances. This type of volcano typically produces non-explosive eruptions, leading to the formation of wide, expansive landforms. Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are prominent examples of shield volcanoes in Hawaii.


How are craters made?

Craters were probably caused by meteors that hit the moon. Craters can also be made by non-active volcanoes


What are non dormant?

Non-dormant refers to something that is active, operating, or in use. For example, non-dormant accounts are ones that are currently being used or accessed. It is the opposite of dormant, which means inactive or not in use.


What are non explosive volcanoes?

What is the difference from a non volcano and active volcano?

Effusive eruptions occur when hot, (1200oC) runny basalt magmas reach the surface. Dissolved gases escape easily as the magma erupts, forming lava that flows downhill quite easily. Effusive eruptions build up gently-sloping Shield Volcanoes like Hawaii. Explosive eruptions occur where cooler, more viscous magmas (such as andesite) reach the surface. Dissolved gases cannot escape as easily, so pressure may build up until gas explosions blast rock and lava fragments into the air! Lava flows are much more thick and sticky so do not flow downhill as easily. These eruptions build up more steeply-sloping Composite volcanoes like this one in Chile.


Where are the majority of the worlds most active volcanoes located?

As a whole, most of the world's non-stop volcanism is occurring along the mid-ocean rifts, where new oceanic crust is being created. Most of the active volcanoes on the continents are located along areas of plate collision and subduction, most notably the so-called 'Ring of Fire', an area of earthquakes and volcanism around the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean.

Volcanoes that form at hot spots from many non explosive eruptions?

It's a shield volcano. Curtesy of a quick google search [from geography.learnontheinternet.co.uk] Shield Volcanoes Eruptions are typically non-explosive. Shield volcanoes produce fast flowing fluid [lava] that can flow for many miles. Eruptions tend to be frequent but relatively gentle.


What makes volcanoes non-explosive?

Non-explosive volcanoes will have low concentrations of gas in the magma.


What types of volcanos are the result of non-explosive eruptionso like at Hawaii?

The types of volcanoes resulting from non-explosive eruptions, like those in Hawaii, are primarily shield volcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by their broad, gently sloping profiles formed by the accumulation of low-viscosity basalt lava that can flow over long distances. The eruptions are typically effusive, allowing lava to flow steadily rather than explosively. This results in the creation of large, expansive landforms that are less steep compared to other volcanic types, such as stratovolcanoes.
