Why is that romeo in shakespeare is a person of extreme emotions?

The simple answer to this is that Romeo is not a person of extreme emotions.
Almost everybody else in the play spends the whole story fighting, or intending to fight, someone. The play opens with two servants (Sampson and Gregory) out looking for a fight - even though the Montague / Capulet barney is really none of their business.
Once the fight starts, even Old Montague and Old Capulet (both probably in their late fifties) join in; (old men fighting is a favourite device of Shakespeare for showing that society has gone dreadfully wrong: compare Montague and Capulet here with Antonio's attempt to duel Claudio in Much Ado).
Romeo is the only person in this whole play who backs down from a fight (when he walks away from Tybalt in III.i).
It doesn't work: Romeo is one sane person in a mad world. But Romeo is the voice of moderation in this play (so is Juliet).

Because in Romeo and Juliet at heightened points of emotion the meter is interrupted and the sentences tend to be long.

Caesura helps suggest Juliet's emotions to the audience, it is a creative technique.
