Well... not all volcanoes have glaciers on their slopes! Some volcanoes have glaciers on their slopes because the volcano just isn't hot!
The volcano might be inactive, 'asleep' or even 'dead'... so there is no activity in it, which means no hot lava is moving about in it, so it doesn't heat up it's slopes (so they stay cold enough for the glacier not to melt or anything)!

What slopes does a shield volcano have?
Shield volcanoes typically have gentle slopes with angles ranging from 2-10 degrees. These low-angle slopes are a result of the highly fluid lava flows produced by shield volcanoes, which travel long distances before solidifying. This gradual build-up of lava layers over time creates the characteristic broad, dome-like shape of shield volcanoes.
What type of volcanoes are Broad gradual slopes?
Broad, gradual slopes are characteristic of shield volcanoes. These volcanoes are formed primarily by the eruption of low-viscosity basaltic lava that can flow over great distances, creating a wide, gently sloping profile. Examples of shield volcanoes include Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Their gentle slopes result from the relatively fluid nature of the lava, allowing it to spread out over large areas.
Which spanish speaking country can i find glaciers?
There are significant glaciers in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. All of these countries are on the slopes of the Andes.
What are volcanoes with gentle slopes that cover large areas and occur in Hawaii called?
Volcanoes with gentle slopes that cover large areas and occur in Hawaii are called shield volcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by their low-angle slope due to the fluid lava flows, which can extend over great distances. Examples include Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
What Name the three types of volcanoes?
The three main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad, gentle slopes and are primarily built up by low-viscosity basaltic lava flows. Stratovolcanoes are characterized by their steep, conical shapes and are formed from alternating layers of lava, ash, and other volcanic debris. Cinder cone volcanoes are the smallest type, featuring steep slopes formed from the accumulation of volcanic ash, cinders, and small lava fragments.

What is the special thing in Alaska?
The Northern Lights, glaciers and volcanoes.
Is a shield volcano pointed?
No. Shield volcanoes have broad, shallow slopes.

How many ways an island can form?
Glaciers, volcanoes, and erosion, explosion, implosion.
How do volcanoes create glaciers?
Some volcanoes are very tall mountains, reaching altitudes where temperatures rarely climb above freezing. Snow that falls on these mountains does not melt but instead piles up, eventually forming glaciers.
