The color of volcanic ash can vary around the world, but where I live, the ash from Mt Saint Helens eruption and from Mt Mazuma (Crater Lake) eruption 10,000 years ago is light gray. You can find both buried as layers in the soil here in north Idaho.

Since it is mafic in composition red/orange when hot, and usually black when cooled. However, after cooling iron in the rock may turn red.

Volcanic rocks vary widley in color. They may be gray, white, black, brown, or red. The most common igneous rock is basalt, which is usually black but can turn red or brown with weathering.

What do shield volcanoes form?

Lava


Pyroclasic materials from shield volcanoes?

Pyroclastic flows don't come from shield volcanoes. They come from cinder cone and sometimes composite volcanoes. Shield volcanoes only erupt runny lava.


Why are Hawaiian volcanoes shield volcanoes?

The Hawaiian volcanoes are shield volcanoes as they are broadly-sloping and composed of layers formed by basaltic lava flows.


Do shield volcanoes have high silica or low silica?

Shield volcanoes produce low-silica lava.


What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?

The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.


What is the typical shape of a shield volcano?

Shield volcanoes are in the shape of a shield. Hence, the name shield volcano! Shield volcanoes are tall and broad with flat rounded shapes. They have low slpes and almost always have large craters. Shield volcanoes form from eruptions of flowing lava. THe lava spreads out and builds up volcanoes with broad, gently, sloping sides. One example of a shield volcano is the Hawaiian Islands.


What forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?

Cinder-Cone Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes


Do shield volcanoes have a steep sloping cone made up of rocks and lava?

No. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes composed almost entirely of cooled lava flows.


Does the lava that forms shield volcanoes probably have a lot of silica or water in it?

No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.


Four landforms created from lava and ash?

Three landforms that can be created from ash are cinder cone volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and shield volcanoes. Lava plateaus can also be formed.


Do shield volcanoes have high silica content in the lava?

No, shield volcanoes are characterized by lava with a low silica content. Consequently, the principal hazard of the volcano is the lava flow rather than the eruption itself.


What are three types of volcanoes?

Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
