What else can I help you with?
When a shield volcano erupts will it have thick or thin lava?
it wil have thin lava because the lava is "runny" and shield volcanoes are made from nonexplosive eruptions so they will be quiet when they erupt.
What type of volcano forms from thin layers of cooled lava?
the Philippines volcano's form thin layer of cooled lava but not really cold like freezing
Do a shield volcano have thick lava?
No, shield volcanoes typically have relatively thin, fluid lava that can flow over long distances. This type of lava, often basaltic in composition, allows for the gentle, broad slopes characteristic of shield volcanoes. The low viscosity of the lava contributes to the volcano's shield-like shape, as it spreads out instead of piling up.
When a shield volcano erupts why will it have thin lava?
Most of the lava is liquid. Has very LOW viscosity
What type of volcano is large and dome shaped?
A large, dome-shaped volcano is known as a shield volcano. These volcanoes are characterized by their broad, gently sloping profiles built up by many thin, fluid lava flows. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is a famous example of a shield volcano.

Is you true Shield volcano form from many thin layers of lava?
No

Which type of volcano form a mountain gently sloping sides and is built almost entirely from thin lava?
A+ answer : shield volcano

Is AAA lava thin or thick?
Thick.
Is kilauea composite shield or cinder cone?
Kilauea is a shield volcano. Its low viscosity lava flows spread out in thin layers, creating a broad and gently sloping shield-like shape. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located on the Big Island of Hawaii.
How could you tell if a volcano makes felsite or basalt lava?
Thin lava
What are gentle sided and steep sided volcanoes?
gently sloping volcanoes are called shield volcanoes and they are formed from many eruptions of lava that is relatively low in silica, so it spreads out in many thin layers and creates the gently sloping sides of a shield volcano.
What kind of rock does the kilauea volcano make?
Kilauea volcano primarily produces basaltic rock, which is a type of volcanic rock that is low in silica content and flows easily when molten. The lava flows from Kilauea are typically thin and hot, allowing them to travel long distances before solidifying.
What is the difference between lava dome and shield volcano?
A shield volcano is made from lava flows that flow far, making a very wide, not very steep mountain. A cinder cone volcano is the most common type of volcano. It is formed from volcanic fragments and is very steep sided, although not always extremely tall. They usually have just one main vent, and can also sometimes form from a vent of a larger volcano, growing and becoming a whole new volcano. Composite volcanoes resemble very large cinder cone volcanoes at first, but have bigger particles making them up usually and also have multiple vents more often. They also are potentially more explosive. A shield volcano is made from lava flows that flow far, making a very wide, not very steep mountain.
