Kilauea is made up of lava flows. Lava pours out of the volcano in thin sheets, building up the volcano over time.
Yes, Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is considered a hot spot volcano. This means it is formed by a mantle plume beneath the Earth's crust, creating a source of heat and molten rock that erupts to the surface.
Kilauea is an volcano active volcano on the eastern side of the island of Hawaii. It is one of five volcanoes that make up the island. Kilauea is by far the most active of the Hawaiian volcanoes, and is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The most recent eruption of Kilauea started in 1983 and is still ongoing. In other words, lava has been pouring out of the volcano almost nonstop for 30 years.
Volcanoes produce extrusive igneous rock.
Mount Kilauea is primarily composed of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that forms from the rapid cooling of lava flows. Basalt is dark in color and rich in minerals like olivine and pyroxene. Over time, repeated eruptions of basaltic lava have built up the shield volcano that is Mount Kilauea.
Kilauea was created by volcanic activity from a hot spot beneath the Earth's crust. The volcano formed over thousands of years as lava flowed to the surface and built up layers of rock. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and continues to grow as new eruptions add more material to its shape.
No. A volcano cannot become a batholith. A batholith is a mass of rock that forms from magma solidifying underground. Kilauea is a volcano built up from lava that has cooled on the surface.

Kilauea generally produces lava flows and lava fountains. Its current activity has also involved the formation of lava lakes. All of the lava involved is basaltic.

It is known as magma, but the actual type of rock depends on the volcano. Sorry not to be of much help.

Lava and rock explode out of the volcano then lava pours down the volcano covering the land then turning into rock making the volcano bigger.
