The type of volcano that produces fluid basaltic lava is called a shield volcano.

Here's why:

* Basaltic lava is very fluid due to its low silica content, allowing it to flow easily and spread over large areas.

* Shield volcanoes are characterized by their broad, gently sloping shape. This shape is a direct result of the repeated eruptions of fluid basaltic lava, which flows outwards in all directions, gradually building up the volcano.

Some examples of shield volcanoes include:

* Mauna Loa (Hawaii)

* Kilauea (Hawaii)

* Mount Etna (Italy)

* Olympus Mons (Mars)
