It is very slow flowing lava, so slow you can't even see it moving. However this can change, as magma from below can produce a violent explosion.
Yes, a Dome volcano and a Lava Dome volcano are the same. A Dome volcano is characterized by the formation of a dome-shaped mound of lava that accumulates around the volcanic vent. Lava Domes are typically associated with eruptions of viscous lava that solidifies quickly, leading to the dome-like structure.
The verb for lava coming out of a volcano is 'erupt.Lava erupts from volcano then flows down the flanks.For very viscous lavas, the lava forms a dome in the mouth of the volcano (which, when it gets too big collapses to form pyroclastic flows), in this instance the eruption is a growth, dome growth!
When the lava ejected is too thick to flow, it solidifies near the vent and can form a dome-shaped feature called a lava dome. Lava domes are typically made of highly viscous lava, which does not flow easily. They can grow slowly over time as more lava is added to the dome from the eruption.
Acid Lava Dome is a type of volcano that forms when viscous acid lava solidifies quickly to form a volcano with steep convex sides.
a dome volcano is not the same as a cone volcano. a dome volcano is a type of volcano, is a roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano. Usually it extrudes very slowly, but constantly. A cone volcano has an appearance of an upside-down funnel with a hole in the top which the lava shoots out of.
A lava domes is a structure that forms when a volcano extrudes very viscous lava that builds into a dome-shaped pile rather than flow downhill.

Mt. Lassen is a lava dome type of volcano. The domes of lava dome volcanoes grows from within, and commonly occur within the craters or on the flanks of large composite volcanoes.
Lava starts building up underneath some surface (solid) materials. It is being pushed up by some underground forces. The upward pressure causes a dome like cap covering the 'liquid' lava. Eventually the lava breaks through and you have a volcanic eruption.
