Question at position 2 Which of the following is not an example of a shield volcano?KilaueaMt. PeleeMauna LoaMauna KeaClear my selection

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which option is not an example of a shield volcano.
Option 1: Kilauea. Kilauea is a classic shield volcano characterized by low-viscosity basaltic lava flows that create broad, gently sloping cuffs. Its eruptions tend to be effusive, building up broad landforms rather than steep cones, which fits the shield volcano profile.
Option 2: Mt. Pelee. Montagne Pelée on Martinique is widely known as a stratovolcano (composite volcano), with steeper slopes and more viscous lava compared to shield volcanoes. This makes it the correct choice for not being a shield volcano.
Option 3: Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is one of the largest shield volcanoes on Earth, with its broad, gently-sloping shield shape formed by repeated low-viscosity lava eruptions, aligning perfectly with shield volcano characteristics.
Option 4: Mauna Kea. Also located in the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain, Mauna Kea is a massive shield volcano, similar in style to its neighbor Mauna Loa, built by basaltic lava flows and a broad profile.
In summary, the distinguishing feature here is that Mt. Pelee is a stratovolcano, not a shield volcano, while the other three listed exemplify shield volcano morphology.
