Question

How does the shape of a volcano clay affect it's eruption​

Answer 1

Depending on how viscous the lava is will depend on the shape. If the volcano produces very sticky magma (high in silica) it tends to have an explosive eruptive style that includes lava, pyroclastic flows, and ash. This material piles up right around the volcano, forming a steep cone, a classic volcano shape.
