A Correct answer
Explanation

Hawaiian volcanoes like Mauna Loa and Kilauea are classic examples of shield volcanoes, which are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. These form broad, gently sloping domes shaped like a warrior's shield, unlike composite volcanoes (steep, layered) or the nonexistent terms 'broad' or 'core' volcanoes.
