How am i supposed to know this dr Albert Einstein im only here because i googled it meaning that i dont know!
What else can I help you with?
Does highly liquid lava form wide shield like mountains?
Yes, highly liquid lava can form wide shield-like mountains called shield volcanoes. These volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the runny nature of the lava which allows it to flow long distances before solidifying. Shield volcanoes are typically found at divergent plate boundaries and hot spots.
Wide gently sloping mountains formed by low-silica lava flows are called?
shield volcanoes
Are shield volcanoes steep mountains?
No, shield volcanoes are not steep mountains. They have gently sloping sides due to the relatively low viscosity of the lava that flows from them, which allows the lava to spread out and create a wide, shield-like shape.
Is a wide gently sloping mountains made of hardened layers of low silica lava?
It is important to know the terms of the landforms on the Earth. A shield volcano is a wide gently sloping mountain made of a hardened layers of low silica lava.
What forms the 20-30 mile wide backbone running north and south through vermont?
The Green Mountains
What forms the 20-35-mile-wide backbone running north and south through vermont?
green mountains
What is wide area that forms when low viscosity basaltic lava flows from fissures?
Flood basalts is the term to describe a flow of fluid basaltic lava that issues from cracks or fissures. It commonly covers an extensive area of thickness of hundreds of meters.
Compare and contrast lava plateaus and dome mountains?
Both landforms develop as a result of the upward movement of molten material. Lava plateaus are high, level areas that form when thin, runny lava repeatedly erupts on the surface. In contrast, dome mountains are high, dome-shaped areas that form when hardened magma is uplifted and bends the layers of rock above it into a dome.
What is the wide and flat land form that repeated flows of lava form called?
The wide and flat land form that repeated flows of lava form is called a lava plateau. Lava plateaus are created by successive eruptions of low-viscosity lava that spreads out in thin layers, building up over time to create a broad, flat area.
Layers of thin runny lava that flow over a wide area before they cool and harden can build up what?
Layers of thin runny lava that flow over a wide area before they cool and harden can build up lava plateaus or volcanic fields.
What do quiet eruptions do?
Quiet volcanoes explode with much less suddenness, because lava does not cool and harden. The lava that creates a quiet volcano is still runny and flowing, and do not plug the craters and trap huge quantities of explosive gas. However, pockets of hot gas form that squirt fountains of lava into the air. Because lava flows away before hardening, broad sheets of lava and wide, gently sloping domes are formed around the volcano. When the lava has dried, it forms a rock known as basalt.
When can you say a volcano is in a quiet eruption?
Quiet volcanoes explode with much less suddenness, because lava does not cool and harden. The lava that creates a quiet volcano is still runny and flowing, and do not plug the craters and trap huge quantities of explosive gas. However, pockets of hot gas form that squirt fountains of lava into the air.
