Mauna Loa is classified as a shield volcano, characterized by its broad, gently sloping sides formed by the eruption of low-viscosity basalt lava. This type of cone allows for the flow of lava over long distances, leading to its massive size and relatively gentle slopes. The eruptions of Mauna Loa are typically non-explosive, contributing to its shield-like profile.
