What else can I help you with?
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Pyroclasic materials from shield volcanoes?
Pyroclastic materials from shield volcanoes generally consist of basaltic lava flows and minor amounts of tephra, such as ash and cinder. These materials are typically low in silica content and flow easily, producing gentle, broad slopes characteristic of shield volcanoes. Explosive eruptions from shield volcanoes are less common compared to stratovolcanoes due to the lower viscosity of the magma.
Why are shield volcanoes named shield volcanoes?
Because if you look at them from above, they look like a warrior's shield.
Are shield volcanoes and volcanoes the same?
No, shield volcanoes are a specific type of volcano characterized by their broad, gentle slopes and low viscosity lava flows. "Volcano" is a general term that refers to any landform where volcanic activity occurs, encompassing a variety of volcano types such as shield, composite, and cinder cone volcanoes.
What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
Where is shield volcano?
shield volcanoes are in many places but the most common are the Hawaiian Islands
What are the 3 common types of plutons?
Cinder volcanoes, composite volcanoes, frision volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes.

Are shield volcanoes tall?
No. Compared to composite and cinder cone volcanoes, shield volcanoes are very short. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is a shield volcano.

The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
The Hawaiian volcanoes are good examples of what kind of volcanoes.?
Kilauea is an example of a (shield) volcano.
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by low-viscosity lava, while stratovolcanoes are characterized by alternating layers of lava and ash. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes formed by pyroclastic material ejected during eruptions.
Is 14 prime or compoaite?
Composite.
Is the shield volcano the smallest?
No. Shield volcanoes are quite large. Cinder cones are the smallest volcanoes.
