| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | a low, flat, gently sloping volcano built from many flows of fluid, low-viscosity basaltic lava | 12 sets | |
| 2 | a wide, gently sloping mountain made of layers of lava and formed by quiet eruptions | 7 sets | |
| 3 | broad, gently sloping volcano formed by quiet eruptions of basaltic lava | 6 sets | |
| 4 | a wide, gently sloping mountain made of layers of lava and formed by quiet eruptions. | 5 sets | |
| 5 | a volcano composed of quiet lava flows | 4 sets | |
| 6 | forms when large amounts of fluid, runny lava gradually build up a dome-shaped mountain | 3 sets | |
| 7 | name the largest and first of four volcanic accumulations... | 3 sets | |
| 8 | broad gently sloping volcano formed by quiet eruptions of basaltic lava | 3 sets | |
| 9 | a low, flat, gently sloping volcano built from many flows of fluid, low-viscosity basaltic lava. | 2 sets | |
| 10 | a wide, gently sloping mountain | 2 sets | |
| 11 | a quiet eruption of low-viscosity lava produces a wide, flat volcano | 2 sets | |
| 12 | a broad rounded volcano that is built up by successive outpourings of very fluid lava | 2 sets | |
| 13 | a shield volcano covers a large area, is dome-shaped, and has gently sloping sides. the lava is dark, thin, and runny so it flows quietly from the vent. mauna loa in hawaii is an example of a shield volcano. mauna loa also is the largest volcano on earth. it makes up about 1/2 of the area of the island of hawaii. | 2 sets | |
| 14 | wide, gently sloping mountain made of layers of lava and formed by quiet eruptions | 2 sets | |
| 15 | wide, gently sloping volcano that usually has quiet eruptions | 2 sets | |
| 16 | a very broad volcano with shallow slopes that forms in association with nonviscous lava flows | 2 sets | |
| 17 | mauna loa | 2 sets | |
| 18 | a wide, gently sloping mountain made of layers of lava and formed by quiet eruptions. (p. 230) | 2 sets | |
| 19 | a wide, gently sloping mountain made of layers of lava; formed by quiet eruptions. | 2 sets | |
| 20 | shield-shaped volcano with a broad base and gently sloping sides that is made of basaltic lava. | 1 set | |
| 21 | gently sloping sides, develop from layers of basaltic lava, quiet eruptions | 1 set | |
| 22 | a broad, shield-shaped volcano many tens of kilometers in circumference and more than 2 km high built by successive flows of fluid basaltic lava from a central vent. | 1 set | |
| 23 | broad volcano with sloping sides | 1 set | |
| 24 | largest volcanoes with non-explosive eruptions. formed by fluid lava flows. | 1 set | |
| 25 | 순상화산 | 1 set | |
| 26 | a wide gently sloping mountain made of layers of lava and formed by quiet eruptions | 1 set | |
| 27 | a type of volcano that is shaped like a shield and is built of of many layers of lava | 1 set | |
| 28 | broad gently sloping colcano formed by quiet eruptions of basaltic lava | 1 set | |
| 29 | mostly lava flows, low slopes, very large | 1 set | |
| 30 | a large, gently sloping volcanic mountain formed by flows of magma | 1 set | |
| 31 | a broad, gently sloping volcano built from fluid basaltic lava | 1 set | |
| 32 | a type of volcano that is a build up of layers of lava (hawaiian islands) | 1 set | |
| 33 | low viscosity lava, generally sloped and flattened | 1 set | |
| 34 | huge! very flat, lots of iron and magnesium in the magma, which makes very runny lava that can travel large distances before cooling and hardening into rock (which gives them their flat shapes), mild eruptions. ex. mauna loa, hawaii | 1 set | |
| 35 | gently sloping volcano: b/c- mafic and hot, biggest volcanoes, mostly underwater massive | 1 set | |
| 36 | a quiet eruption of low viscosity lava produces a wide, flat volcano | 1 set | |
| 37 | wide, gently sloping mountain | 1 set | |
| 38 | a broad gently sloping volcano built from fluid basaltic lavas | 1 set | |
| 39 | is a very wide volcano built of low viscocity lava. | 1 set | |
| 40 | layers of lava pouring out of the vent create this type of volcano | 1 set | |
