Kilauea
shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent
Lava flow.
A shield volcano forms when layers of basaltic lava accumulate during a nonexplosive eruption. These volcanoes have gentle sloping sides and are usually characterized by their broad and flat shapes. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is a well-known example of a shield volcano.
it wil have thin lava because the lava is "runny" and shield volcanoes are made from nonexplosive eruptions so they will be quiet when they erupt.
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.

A shield volcano.
Shield volcanoes usually produce effusive eruptions.
Lava flow.
a Pyroclastic Shield Volcano. Basically a shield volcano covered in pyroclastic debris from earlier eruptions.
Some volcanoes known for having only nonexplosive eruptions include Kilauea in Hawaii and Piton de la Fournaise in Reunion Island. These eruptions typically involve the lava flowing steadily rather than explosive ash clouds.

Generally not. Explosive eruptions may happen occasionally, but most eruptions are effusive.
