*Extra information*
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.
A shield volcano has a broad shape due to having been formed by multiple lava flows. This type of volcano is formed as a result of lava flowing over a period of time. Because there are multiple flow points for the lava, a gently sloping surface is created. This surface resembles a warrior's shield, which is why they are described as shield volcanoes. Large shield volcanoes can be three to four miles in diameter.
