We all know that we have different personality traits that make us unique human beings. Some of us seem to prefer order and predictability. We feel comfortable when we work on a schedule. A good day is when we can check everything off our to do list. While others of us are more spontaneous and become bored when things are too predictable.
Venus has over 150 large shield volcanoes. These shields are mostly between 100 and 600 km across, with heights between about 0.3 and 5.0 km. The largest shields, however, are over 700 km in diameter and up to 5.5 km in height.
Eruptions. Although the type of eruptions found in a shield volcano can vary slightly, most experience Hawaiian eruptions. These eruptions will usually have ground flows of lava that is capable of traveling great distances. Because the flows travel a longer distance, the individual sheets of lava are generally thinner. shield volcano resembles the appearance of a Hawaiian warriorâs shield in that they have a low-angle profile. In almost all cases the comparison to a shield is done because the width of these volcanoes is typically around 20 times the size of their height.
