Abstract. By virtue of their extreme heat, and their ability to surround and bury, as well as to force structural failure, lava flows present an extreme hazard to communities in their path.Here the focus is on hazards associated with the ingress of basaltic lava into vulnerable areas.bstract. By virtue of their extreme heat, and their ability to surround and bury, as well as to force structural failure, lava flows present an extreme hazard to communities in their path.
One of the two most important types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes are large and broad and have relatively gentle slopes. Kilauea on the island of Hawaii is good example of a shield volcano.Eruptions on shield volcanoes are far less explosive than those on composite volcanoes.That is because the basalt lava that erupts from shield volcanoes contains less silica, SiO 2, and is therefore less sticky (less viscous) and doesn't plug up the volcano. shield volcano is a type of volcano usually built almost entirely of fluid magma flows. They are named for their large size and low profile, resembling a warrior's shield lying on the ground. This is caused by the highly fluid lava they erupt, which travels farther than lava erupted from stratovolcanoes.
