The largest shield volcano (and the second tallest mountain) in the solar system known to date, is Olympus Mons, which is on planet Mars.
It is a Shield volcano, located in Iceland.
Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. It is one of the largest in the world and is characterized by its gentle sloping sides built up from numerous lava flows. Shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava.
It is a shield volcano. Rifts typically open in the seaward flanks, with lava fountains and slow-moving lava flows to the ocean.
The tallest mountain in the solar system, located on Mars, is called Olympus Mons.
Composite volcanoes are bigger than cinder cone volcanoes, but not shield volcanoes. With the possible exception of the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest volcanoe on earth is Mauna Loa, a shild volcano that makes up most of the island of Hawaii. The largest known volcano anywhere is Olympus Mons, a shield volcano on Mars.
The Mauna Loa volcano, located in Hawaii
The volcano Kilauea is a Shield Volcano and is located on the Big Island of Hawaii
no, a shield volcano is.
yes. it is an extinct shield volcano which is the result of lava flowing out over a long period.
It is a Shield volcano, located in Iceland.

They are the largest volcanoes in the world. They cover very broad areas. The largest volcano in the world, Mauna Loa is a shield volcano.
Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. It is one of the largest in the world and is characterized by its gentle sloping sides built up from numerous lava flows. Shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava.
Mid-oceanic ridges, at the divergance of 2 SiMa plates. Hawii is an example of a shield volcano.
No, Mauna Loa is a shield volcano, not a stratovolcano. Shield volcanoes are characterized by their gentle slopes and built from lava flows, while stratovolcanoes are steeper and built from layers of ash and lava flows. Mauna Loa is one of the largest shield volcanoes in the world and is located in Hawaii.
Olympus Mons
In order from smallest to largest are the types of volcanoes (I have this in my science notes, which I am looking at right now!)- Cinder Cone = smallest Stratovolcano (composite cone) = medium Shield Volcano = largest
