As the name suggests, a shield volcano is broad and flat, like a shield. Made primarily of lava flows, shield volcanoes are less dangerous than the smaller stratovolcanoes. Examples include the Hawaiian islands, the base of Mount Etna (upon which several stratovolcanoes were built), Geldingadalir in Iceland, and Erta Ale in Ethiopia. Their lavas are generally fluid and runny, allowing them to spread farther from a vent than a stratovolcano’s lava would. As they travel farther from their source they eventually cool, forming a new layer to the shield volcano. Their slopes are weak, and thus prone to fissure eruptions, which send curtains of fire hundreds of feet into the air.
Kilauea is a shield volcano in the United States. Its broad surface features a long series of craters (aptly named the Chain of Craters) on its East Rift Zone, extending from the summit to the eastern tip of the Big Island. In May of 2018, a series of fissures emerged in the Leilani Estates, wiping out dozens of homes and creating massive lava flows.

Get the Carolina Volcano mug.A new take on the famous thought experiment, Schrödinger's cat, that illustrates a paradox of quantum superposition. Inbrought by the undisputed masterpiece "TOO MUCH VOLCANO!" , & its confusion inbrought by Natsuki's lyrics describing the Aso Kujū National Park volcano situation. Natsuki mentioned that there is too much volcano & that there is no volcano? Many theorize that the answer is that it's "TOO MUCH VOLCANO!" given that the song is titled "TOO MUCH VOLCANO!".
Neglected gas stoves left on with candles abutting are like Schrödinger's Volcano: until you check in, they exist as both exploded & non-exploded .

Doctor: Ah, sounds like a volcano to me!! This morphine should do the trick.
