What type of eruption is associated with a shield volcano?
Answer (3)
Shield volcanoes are the larges volcanoes in the world, named for their flat, shield-like structure. Their eruptions are highly fluid, so the lava travels quite fast. This results in steady accumulation of sheets of lava, building up the volcanoes form. Eruptions contain low viscosity magma. This means that the magma is relatively "thin", and it will flow quickly.
Hope this helps!
it is not a big explosive eruption ti is normally a small eruption fun fact moist of haiwy is a shield volacono
Shield volcanoes are associated with effusive eruptions, which are characterized by the steady outpouring of low-viscosity lava. These types of eruptions create the broad and gentle slopes typical of shield volcanoes. Examples include Mauna Loa and Kilauea in Hawaii.
