		A volcano is a mound, hill or mountain constructed by solid fragments, lava flows, and or dome-like extrusions deposited around a vent from which the material is extruded.
		The vent is a conduit that extends from the earth's upper mantle or lithosphere to the surface.
		Shield volcanoes are large volcanoes with broad summit areas and low-sloping sides (shield shape) because the extruded products are mainly low viscosity basaltic lava flows.
