When the wave enters shallow water, it slows down and its amplitude (height) increases.
Shield volcanoes are made of thousands of thin basalt lava flows. Because the lava has a relatively low viscosity (low resistance to flow) the lava can travel far from the vent, the location where the lava reaches the surface. The resulting volcanic landform has a broad base and very gentle slopes, much like a warrior's inverted shield.
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent, otherwise they are characterized by low-explosive fountaining that forms cinder cones and spatter cones at the vent. In a shield volcano, 90% of the volcano is lava rather than pyroclastic material. Due to high magma supply rates, the lava is hot and changes very little after it is generated. A common product of hotspot volcanism, shield volcanoes can also be found along subduction-related volcanic arcs or all by themselves.
The Big Island of Hawaii is composed of five coalesced volcanoes of successively younger ages, with the older ones apparently extinct. Mauna Loa, one of the main volcanoes on the Big Island, has a higher elevation than any mountain on Earth: 30,000 feet from the floor of the ocean to its highest peak.
Lava domes result from the slow extrusion of highly viscous silica-rich magma. Most domes are rather small, but can exceed 6 cubic miles in volume. Extrusions from the dome may end up as rather slow-moving lava, but many begin explosively, forming explosion pits blanketed by pyroclastic debris.
A dome has been growing slowly within the crater of Mount St. Helens since its eruption in 1980

Calderas are circular to oblong depressions formed by the collapse along curved fractures associated with the extrusion of pyroclastic materials.
The frequency of such voluminous eruptions is very low, with volumes of 119 cubic miles having a frequency of about 100,000 years.
The area of caldera collapse is proportional to the volume of erupted material.
