Very broad volcano with gentle slopes formed from basalt lava flows.?
it is a shield volcano
What are gentle sided and steep sided volcanoes?
Volcanoes with a large area and gently sloping sides are called 'shield volcanoes' and for them to form the lava they produce must be very runny and not to rich in gas. Thick lava forms plugs and domes which results in steeper sided volcanoes (the lava does not flow away very far) and a gas rich lava causes explosive eruptions (which can destroy the volcano) which causes the build up of steep sided cinder cones.
What are the broad slightly dome-shaped volcanoes called?
a broad-domed volcano is formed by lava flows. the amount of times the volcano has erupted effects how broad the dome would be, because when the lava flows it wears away the dome of the volcano.
What type of lava does a cinder cone volcano have?
A cinder cone volcano typically has basaltic lava, which is low in silica content and flows easily. This results in the formation of steep-sided cones made of mostly cinders and volcanic ash.
Is Fuego volcano a shield volcano a compostie volcano or a cinder cone volcano?
The Arenal Volcano is a cinder cone volcano
Is a shield volcano the same thing as a cinder cone volcano?
No. A shield volcano is a large volcano with broad, shallow slopes formed from layers of lava flows formed by non-explosive eruptions. A cinder cone volcano is a small, steep-sloped volcano composed of pieces of rock formed by lava that was ejected explosively into the air.

What is a sheld volcano?
A shield volcano is a domed, broad volcano that has gently sloping sides. They are usually built from the eruption of fluid lava.

Is Fuego volcano a shield volcano a compostie volcano or a cinder cone volcano?
The Arenal Volcano is a cinder cone volcano
Is a stratovolcano a shield volcano?
No. A stratovolcano is a volcano with steep slopes consiting of layers of lava flows, ash, and pumice and is prone to explosive eruptions. A shield volcano is a volcano with broad slopes composed of layers of low viscosity lava flows and is generally not prone to explosive eruptions.
What type of volcano is made of layers of tephra and lava?
A stratovolcano is made of layers of tephra and lava. Stratovolcanoes are steep-sided and composed of alternating layers of volcanic ash, tephra, hardened lava flows, and other volcanic materials.
What volcano has broad gently shopping sides?
One example of a volcano with broad, gently sloping sides is Mauna Loa in Hawaii. It is a shield volcano known for its relatively gentle eruption style, producing lava flows that can travel long distances before cooling. Its shape is a result of the fluid basaltic lava that forms from its frequent eruptions.
