How many shield volcanoes exist?

a lot


How many volcanoes erupted so far?

well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:


What are the 3 types of valcones?

The three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and stratovolcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad, gently sloping sides, cinder cone volcanoes are steep-sided with a circular or oval shape, and stratovolcanoes are tall, conical volcanoes built up by many layers of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.


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.

there are many volcanoes that are currently active depending on which country you were talking about. the ring of fire in the pacific ocean for example all the volcanoes the make the ring of fire are active.
