Answer:

Hope this helps!!

Answer is Shield volcanoes

Step-by-step explanation: Shield volcanoes have thin or less viscous magma which has a lower amount of silica in it. Magma is a mixture of liquid rocks, crystals and minerals etc. The less viscous or thin magma leads to relatively non violent eruptions and instead the magma overflows from the vent just like water overflows from the sides of a container.
