Answer:
The volcano that is very large and broad and has gently sloping sides formed from low viscosity lava is recognized as a 'Shield Volcano'.
Explanation:
- They volcanoes are broadly classified into four main types, viz. Cinder Volcanoes, Composite Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes, and Lava Domes.
- Out of these four, the Shield Volcanoes are the largest in size and span.
- The low viscosity of the lava that comes out of Shield Volcanoes is due to the presence of high amount of molten basalt in the lava.
