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.
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
