Answer:

Shield volcanoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Shield volcanoes erupt thin, 'runny', lava that forms a gently sloping structure. Where a volcano produces low viscosity, runny, lava it spreads far from the source forming a volcano with gentle slopes. This type is called a shield volcano. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are shield volcanoes.
