    Shield volcano
Description:
A shield volcano is a type of volcano that emits lava in a fluid rather than explosive manner. Because of this, they are often very wide and flat like a shield, as the fluid lava usually moves a long distance away from the volcano before setting. This stops the volcano from growing upwards.
