What else can I help you with?
When a shield volcano erupts why will it have thin lava?
Most of the lava is liquid. Has very LOW viscosity
Is mauna kea mafic or felsic?

What is the name of the volcano that is built by thick layer of lava?
A shield volcano. Generally they have runny lava that forms lots of thick layers. The Hawaiian island volcanos are good examples.
Is the lava from a shield volcano thick or thin?
silica content
What happens when a shield volcano erupts?
Shield volcanoes are commonly fed by hotspots, which are upwelling's of magma, rather than by being located on a plate boundary. The movement of oceanic plates over the hotspots is believed to be the cause of the eruptions. Shield volcanoes often have nearly continuous eruptions.

What does lava erupts through?
If you mean 'how does lava release itself from the volcano', it erupts through the volcano's crater. But if you mean 'how does lava erupt from the volcano', then sorry, I have no answers to that.

Where did shield volcanoes usually come from?
A shield volcano is a type of volcano usually built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Shield volcanos usually come from highly fluid lava that erupts, which travels farther than lava erupted from stratovolcanos.
After a shield volcano erupts it usually is?
a lot higher because most of lava piles up around the vent
