Question

A small volcano is erupting lava containing little silica. which type of volcano is likely to build up from these eruptions?

fissure
cinder cone
volcanic mound
shield volcano

Answer 1

The Correct Answer is shield volcano

Step-by-step explanation:

• Shield volcanoes produce like any volcanoes.
• Shield volcanoes are produced by lava floods of cheap thickness - basalt that moves smoothly.
• Shield volcanic crater having a wide form is constructed up over age by movement after the movement of relatively fluid basaltic lava issuing from ventilators on the exterior of the volcano.

Answer 2

The best answer is shield volcano. Magma that has little silica content tends to have low viscosity and is therefore not thick but runny and tends to trickle out from the surface rather than erupt or explode.

This kind of magma tends to form shied volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are formed by lava of low viscosity , which flows easily.

The largest shield volcano is Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii. All the volcanoes in the Hawaiian Islands are shield volcanoes.
