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.
Lava plateaus forms when?
Lava plateaus form when fluid basaltic lava flows out of fissures.
Would a lava flow be considered an extrusion?
Yes, a lava flow is a type of volcanic extrusion where molten rock, or magma, reaches the Earth's surface and flows out as lava. This can result in the formation of volcanic landforms such as lava fields, lava plateaus, and lava domes.
Why doesnt the type of eruption that produce a lava plateau produce a volcanic mountain instead?
first lava flows out of several long cracks in an area. the thin runny lava travels far before cooling and solidifying. again and again floods of lava flow on top of earlier floods. After millions of years these layers of lava can form high plateaus!
Is eastern Washington state a desert?
in many ways, yes, but technically speaking, no. it is considered to be grassland, shrubland, and lava flow plateaus.
What are lava plateau volcanoes?
First, lava flows out of several long cracks in an area. The thin, runny lava travels far before cooling and solidifying. Again and again, floods of lava flow on top of earlier floods. After millions of years, these layers can form high plateaus.
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 type of magma are lava plateaus made from?
Lava plateaus are typically made from basaltic magma, which is low in silica content and flows easily when erupted from a volcano. This type of magma produces large, flat expanses of solidified lava called flood basalts, which create the extensive lava plateau formations often seen in volcanic regions.
Do basalt plateaus form from explosive or quiet eruptions?
Quiet eruptions are a characteristic of basalt lava flows and plateaus.
What are the different types of lava plateaus?
Im actually not sure .-.
Does High viscosity lava flows faster than low viscosity lava?
No. Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow. So higher viscosity means a slower flow.
What is the density independent of lava flow?
the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
