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 else can I help you with?
What type of volcanos would be the most explosive?
volcanoes that have large amounts of silica The most explosive volcanoes are stratovolcanoes with felsic magama that has a high gas content. A. Shield Volcano- these usually form at hot spots and are like the ones in Hawaii. THey are nonexplosive because the lava is very runny. This would not be the most explosive. B. Cindercone-this would probably be your best bet although they erupt only once during their liftime. They are the smallest type of volcano and have steep sides. When it explodes, it shoots out pyroclastic material. C. Composite Volcano-this is also called a stratovolcano. It has both nonexplosive and explosive eruptions. THey can have many eruptions. IF the cinder cone was not what you were looking for, then this would be your second choice.
What type of Towering volcanoes form from both lava flows and cinder rocks?
The type of towering volcanoes that form from both lava flows and cinder rocks are known as composite volcanoes, or stratovolcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by a layered structure, consisting of alternating eruptions of lava and pyroclastic materials, including cinders and ash. This combination of materials contributes to their steep profiles and can lead to explosive eruptions. Examples of composite volcanoes include Mount St. Helens and Mount Fuji.
What type of volcaneos form at convergent bounderies?
Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, form at convergent boundaries. These volcanoes are typically tall and steep-sided with alternating layers of lava, ash, and rock fragments due to the alternating eruptions of lava and explosive eruptions. Examples include Mount St. Helens in the USA and Mount Fuji in Japan.
A combination of explosive and nonexplosive eruptions will create a?
A combination of explosive and nonexplosive eruptions will create a diverse volcanic landscape characterized by various features. Explosive eruptions can form steep-sided stratovolcanoes with layers of ash and lava, while nonexplosive eruptions typically lead to the formation of broad shield volcanoes with gentle slopes. This interplay can result in complex volcanic structures, such as calderas, lava plateaus, and pyroclastic deposits, showcasing a range of volcanic activity and geology. Such environments often exhibit varied ecosystems and geological hazards.
Why are scientists able to use rocks to be able to find out that a volcano is explosive or nonexplosive?
Explosive and non-explosive eruptions form different types of rock. Explosive eruptions tend to have fragmented rocks composed of cinders, ash, and pumice. Non-explosive eruptions usually produce lava flows, which tend to cool as solid sheets or channels of rock.
How do cinders form?
Cinder cone volcanoes are made of pyroclastic material and most often form from moderately explosive eruptions.

Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
How do red clouds form?
Normally from the Eruptions of Volcanoes

Which volcanoes form from fallen cinders and tephra of an eruption?
Cinder Cone
Do basalt plateaus form from explosive or quiet eruptions?
Quiet eruptions are a characteristic of basalt lava flows and plateaus.
What do hot spots form?
flood basalts and volcanoes

Where do shield volcanoes form?
at hot spots(a place where volcanoes are very active)
