Why is Kilauea volcano non explosive?
Kilauea is a shield volcano fed by gas-poor basaltic magma. It is the gas in the magma that makes eruptions explosive. Kilauea has occasionally produced explosive eruptions when magma cam in contact with water.
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 type of volcano is Belknap volcano?
Belknap volcano is a shield-type volcano. Shield volcanoes have low, broad profiles due to the fluid lava that flows easily over long distances from the vent. They are typically associated with non-explosive eruptions.
Is a shield volcano nonexplosive or explosive?
shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent
Broad volcano with gently sloping sides?
A broad volcano with gently sloping sides describes a shield volcano. These types of volcanoes are characterized by their low, wide profile and are formed by the slow accumulation of fluid lava flows over time, which create a shield-like shape. This type of volcano tends to have non-explosive eruptions due to the low viscosity of the lava.
Is kilauea a supervolcano?
No. A supervolcano is a volcano that is capable of producing extremely large explosive eruptions. Kilauea is a shield volcano. Most of its eruptions are non-explosive or only mildly explosive.
What type of explosion does a shield volcano have?
Generally shield volcanoes do not explode. They erupt in a non-explosive fashion, fountaining or oozing lava.
Is a Cinder Cone volcano A non explosive or explosive volcano?
a cinder con volcano is an explosive volcano
Why is Kilauea volcano non explosive?

How does cider cone volcano and shield volcano differ?
Cinder cones are small and steep-sloped, composed of volcanic cinders, and have mildly explosive eruptions. Shield volcanoes are large and shallow-sloped with very runny lava and generally non-explosive eruptions.

Is mt shasta a explosive or a non explosive volcano?
yes.
Is a shield volcano explosive or not?
Generally not. Explosive eruptions may happen occasionally, but most eruptions are effusive.
