| Shield Volcanoes for smart people who want to be smarter!!!
Shield volcanoes are tall and broad. Shield volcanoes also have flat round shapes. Shield volcanoes are usually eruptive not explosive. Shield volcanoes have very fluid lava. The lava moves quickly away from the vent before becoming solid. These kinds of volcanoes usually cause gentle slopping volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have very little/low key eruption. The volcanoes magma/lava is store in a magma chamber until the volcanoes erupts. The volcanoes erupt because of built up pressure. Since it is a non-explosive volcano it doesn’t produce ash.
