2 Volcanic Landforms

3 *formed by thin layers of flowing lava (Pahoehoe lava)
Shield volcano – wide, gentle sloping mountain. *formed by thin layers of flowing lava (Pahoehoe lava) Mauna Kea volcano - Hawaii

2. Dormant – a sleeping volcano, will erupt in the distant future (within a few hundred years) Mount Egmont (New Zealand) last erupted in 1755

12 3. Extinct – will not erupt again (a dead volcano)
Mt. Kilamanjaro - Africa

13 Review 1. Types of volcanic landforms
