Magma in a shield volcano usually has a low gas content.
Galeras is a Strato/Composite volcano because of it's gently sloping sides.
The type of volcano is the shield volcano. Shield volcanoes can be found in Hawai'i.
An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.
Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. It is one of the largest in the world and is characterized by its gentle sloping sides built up from numerous lava flows. Shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava.
Yes. Composite volcanoes often have a high gas content in their magma, which is why they often erupt explosively.
The silica content and the gas content of magma are two properties that determine what kind of volcano will form. Magma with low silica content and low gas content tends to form effusive, shield volcanoes, while magma with high silica content and high gas content tends to form explosive, stratovolcanoes.
Olympus mons- on the moon- lacks water which makes it a better shield volcano. so these lack water.
Galeras is a Strato/Composite volcano because of it's gently sloping sides.
The type of volcano is the shield volcano. Shield volcanoes can be found in Hawai'i.

Yes....an active shield volcano.(:
Yes, Santorini is a shield volcano.
Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. It is one of the largest in the world and is characterized by its gentle sloping sides built up from numerous lava flows. Shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava.
The volcano Kilauea is a Shield Volcano and is located on the Big Island of Hawaii
Yes. Composite volcanoes often have a high gas content in their magma, which is why they often erupt explosively.
Haleakala in Hawaii is a shield volcano. Shield volcanoes are characterized by their gentle sloping sides and widespread lava flows, resulting from low-viscosity magma. This type of volcano typically has relatively quiet eruptions.
