Stratovolcanoes, also called composite volcanoes are generally not made of basalt. While they may occasionally produce basalt, much of their material is andesite or dacite.

What lava is in fissure volcanoes?

Fissures usually erupt basaltic lava.


What are shield volcanos made of?

Shield volcanoes are composed mostly of layers of basaltic lava flows.


Is Lava flowing from volcanoes in Hawaii basaltic magma.?

Yes!


What kinds of lava do volcanoes with lower viscosity magma produce?

They produce basaltic lava.


What type of lava comes from what volcano?

Shield volcanoes will erupt basaltic lava. Cinder cones erupt basaltic lava or basaltic andesite lava. Stratovolcanoes often erupt andesite lava, but may erupt basaltic or rhyolitic lava and all intermediate types as well.


What is the lava of cinder cone volcanoes?

A cinder cone has basaltic lava, which has a fairly low viscosity.


What Type of Lava usually flows out of oceanic volcanoes?

Oceanic volcanoes usually release basaltic lava. Basaltic lava is low in silica content, which makes it less viscous and allows it to flow easily and travel long distances before solidifying. This type of lava is common in underwater volcanic activity due to the melting of basaltic oceanic crust.


What kind of lava forms shield volcanoes?

Shield volcanoes are fed by basaltic magma.


Which volcanoes are Massive gently sloping volcanoes built of successive basaltic lava flows?

Massive gently sloping volcanoes built of successive basaltic lava flows are called shield volcanoes. Examples of shield volcanoes include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Mount Etna in Italy. These volcanoes are characterized by their broad, low-profile shape and the relatively peaceful eruptions of fluid lava.


Shield volcanoes are almost entirely composed of this kind of very fluid lava.?

Basaltic lava (low in silica).


What type of lava do shield volcano have?

Mafic, usually basaltic lava.


What is the type of lava in the composite volcanoes?

Composite volcanoes typically erupt with a mixture of lava types, including both viscous lava (andesitic or rhyolitic) that can lead to explosive eruptions, as well as more fluid lava (basaltic) that can flow long distances. This combination of lava types is what gives composite volcanoes their steep-sided profile.
