Answer:

Shield Volcano

Step-by-step explanation:

A shield volcano is a type of volcano named for its low profile, resembling a warrior's shield lying on the ground. It is formed by the eruption of highly fluid (low viscosity) lava, which travels further and forms thinner flows than the more viscous lava erupted from a stratovolcano.
