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.

What is a lava plateau?
A lava plateau is a flat, wide surface (plateau) that is formed when lava comes out of the ground and spreads out very quickly. The lava layers form a lava plateau. With each eruption and flow of lava, the plateau grows in size.
How are volcanoes developed?
Volcanoes are created by layers of ash and lava eruptions
How much lava comes out of a volcanoes?
a lot of lava comes out of volcanoes .
What are the different types of volcanoe?
Volcanoes are grouped into four types: cinder cones, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes and lava volcanoes. They are: Cinder Cones: They are circular or oval cones made up of small fragments of lava from a single vent. They have been blown into the air, cooled, and fallen around the vent. Composite: They are steel-sides and composed of many layers of volcanic rocks. Mt. Rainier and Mount St. Helens are examples of this type of volcano. Shield: Shaped like a bowl or shield in the middle, they have long gentle slopes made of basaltic lava flows. The volcanoes that formed the basalt of the Columbia Plateau were shield volcanoes. Lava Volcanoes: Deep sided mound formed by lava that is too thick to flow. The lava piles up near the vent.
Molten material that flows from volcanoes?
lava.

lava
What lava plateau is found in the US?
Colombia Plateau. Hopre this helped! :)
What forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
Cinder-Cone Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes
How do volcanoes shape the Pacific Northwest?
volcanoes will erupt and let out lava then the lava will harden and that will be new land.
