Do all volcanoes erupt lava?
Lava emissions are found with all active volcanoes, although some volcano emit more lave than others.
Pyroclasic materials from shield volcanoes?
Pyroclastic materials from shield volcanoes generally consist of basaltic lava flows and minor amounts of tephra, such as ash and cinder. These materials are typically low in silica content and flow easily, producing gentle, broad slopes characteristic of shield volcanoes. Explosive eruptions from shield volcanoes are less common compared to stratovolcanoes due to the lower viscosity of the magma.
What type of volcano spits out only lava?
The type of volcano that primarily erupts lava is called a shield volcano. These volcanoes have gentle slopes and are built up by the flow of low-viscosity basaltic lava, which can travel long distances. Unlike explosive volcanoes, shield volcanoes produce relatively non-violent eruptions that primarily involve the effusion of lava rather than ash or pyroclastic materials. Examples include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Kilauea.
Do all volcanoes have a side vent?
No, not all volcanoes have a side vent. Some volcanoes only have a main central vent from which lava and gases are erupted. Other volcanoes may have multiple vents, including side vents, that release magma and gases to the surface.
What type of eruption and lava do shield volcanoes produce?
Shield volcanoes erupt in a flowing, non-explosive manner, the lava flowing for extremely long distances creating the gentle shield shaped form. Eruptions at shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent, otherwise they are characterized by low-explosive fountaining that forms cinder cones and spatter cones at the vent. In a shield volcano, 90% of the volcano is lava rather than pyroclastic material. Due to high magma supply rates, the lava is hot and changes very little after it is generated. A common product of hotspot volcanism, shield volcanoes can also be found along subduction-related volcanic arcs or all by themselvesShield volcanoes usually erup by fountaining or extruding lava.
What are six landforms from lava and ash?
I only know four they are shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and lava plateaus thats all I know
Do all volcanoes erupt lava?

Can a lava destroy the White House?
Lava is only a conspiracy. There is no such thing as lava.
Is hot gases the only thing that come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes erupt fountains of lava, which is how the cinder cone is built up. Cinder cones that are nearing the end of activity may also produce lava flows.
Is pahoehoe lava only found in Hawaii?
No. Many shield volcanoes produces pahoehoe.
What do volcanoes create?
Volcanoes create land by when they erupt the lava melts and turns into gravel and then forms the lands.
What is similar about cinder cone volcanoes and shield volcanoes?
Both shield volcanoes and cinder cones erupt low-viscosity basaltic lava and have eruptions that are only mildly explosive if at all.Cinder cones are small, steep-sloped volcanoes composed primarily of a chunky variety of basalt called scoria.Shield volcanoes are large, gently sloping volcanoes composed primarily of layers of lava flows.
How many types of valcanoes are there?
There are 3 main types of volcanoes: Shield - These volcanoes erupt with lava that has a very low viscosity. The lava is mainly composed of basalt, and forms mostly at rifts and subduction zones, but can also be an indication of a hotspot. Hawaii is made of Shield Volcanoes. Composite - Tall volcanoes, they are composed of alternating layers of lava, ash and cinders. (Mt. Fuji and Mt. Vesuvius are Composite volcanoes). They generally have very violent eruptions, and are the most dangerous to civilians. Cinder Cone - A very short lived volcano, that may erupt only once, though these eruptions are typically violent. They can range from 30-400 meters in height, and when they erupt, the lava that is spewed forth cools quickly, breaking into ash or cinders, where the name comes from. Caja del Rio in New Mexico is a string of over 60 cinder cone volcanoes.

Are hot gases the only material that can come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes also fountain lava into the air and may produce lava flows as activity is coming to an end.
Do all volcanoes have a side vent?
No, not all volcanoes have a side vent. Some volcanoes only have a main central vent from which lava and gases are erupted. Other volcanoes may have multiple vents, including side vents, that release magma and gases to the surface.
