Are Hawaiian volcanoes high in silica?

Hawaiian volcanoes are generally low in silica compared to other types of volcanoes, such as those that produce andesitic or rhyolitic lava. The primary type of lava produced by Hawaiian volcanoes is basalt, which has a lower silica content, typically ranging from about 45% to 55%. This low silica content contributes to the fluidity of the lava, resulting in the characteristic broad, shield-like shapes of Hawaiian volcanoes.
