What is the Columbia Plateau in Washington and Oregon?
The Columbia Plateau in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho is a flood basalt plateau. It formed during the Pliocene period and is one of the largest flood basalts to ever form on the planet.
How do the eruptions that created the Columbia plateau differ from eruptions that create volcanic peaks?
The Columbia Plateau flood basalts were very fluid eruptions along lengthy fissures. Being very fluid, they didn't pile up, but rather flowed outward in broad sheets. Volcanic peaks are formed around central vents. As the lava pours out it solidifies generally not very far from its source, stacking up layer upon layer.
What is a basalt plateau?
One or a succession of high-temperature basaltic lava flows from fissure eruptions which accumulate to form a plateau. Also known as flood basalt.answered by sona
