Broad volcano with gently sloping sides?
A broad volcano with gently sloping sides describes a shield volcano. These types of volcanoes are characterized by their low, wide profile and are formed by the slow accumulation of fluid lava flows over time, which create a shield-like shape. This type of volcano tends to have non-explosive eruptions due to the low viscosity of the lava.
What is the typical shape of a shield volcano?
Shield volcanoes are in the shape of a shield. Hence, the name shield volcano! Shield volcanoes are tall and broad with flat rounded shapes. They have low slpes and almost always have large craters.

The type of volcano is the shield volcano. Shield volcanoes can be found in Hawai'i.
How does a volcano gets its shape?
Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.
What types of volcanoes be found in the Hawaii islands?
An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.
