Volcano formed by gentle eruptions of fluid lava?
A cinder cone volcano....found in my 8th grade science book page 136(:
Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientists make a distinction?
It's because of the silica content. Some with high silica are explosive and violent. The ones with lower silica are gentle, and leak out. (might have it backwards. need to brush up on my volcano facts)
What type of volcano is Haleakala in Hawaii?
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.
Is a shield volcano nonexplosive or explosive?
shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent
Is Mount Kilauea violent or gentle?
Mount Kilauea is considered to be both violent and gentle. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and has a history of frequent eruptions, which can be explosive and destructive. However, Kilauea also has a unique feature called a shield volcano, which produces relatively gentle lava flows that can create new land and reshape the landscape over time.
Which volcano is usually made in science projects?
It's a shield volcano because of its frequent gentle eruptions

Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientist make a distinction?
Because it all depends on what type of volcano it is, if it is a shield volcano low and flat it's eruptions will be gentle. But if it is a cone volcano tall and steep it's eruptions will be very violent.

What type of eruption produces a gentle flow of lava?
A type of eruption that produces a gentle flow of lava is called an effusive eruption. In these eruptions, lava flows steadily and slowly, typically without explosive activity. The lava tends to have low viscosity, allowing it to flow easily across the surface of the volcano.
Volcanoes that form at hot spots from many non explosive eruptions?
It's a shield volcano. Curtesy of a quick google search [from geography.learnontheinternet.co.uk] 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 are volcanoes with gentle slopes and quiet eruptions?
stalkers
What is the volcano called in Iceland?
A volcano known as an 'Icelandic volcano' is characterised by fissure eruptions, occurring on constructive plate boundaries, where two plates are moving apart and magma rises up in the gap making a plateau of rock intead of the more frequently associated cone shaped volcano. These volcanic eruptions are gentle but are persistant and constant.
