What similarities and differences exist between a caldera and a lava plateau?

∙ 10y ago
Both a lava plateau and a caldera are features that result from major volcanic activity.
A lava plateau is a raised feature that forms when very large amounts of runny lava erupt in a non-explosive fasion due to the low gas content. The lava cools to form volcani rock, which accumulates in layers over long periods of time, eventually forming an elevated feaature called a plateau.
A caldera is a lowered feature that forms as a result of an extremely large explosive eruption produced by very thick, gas-rich magma. The caldera forms as the eruption drains massive volumes of magma from the magma chamber and volcano above collapses into the space left behind, leaving a crater-like feature.

What are the differences between a lava plateau and a dome mountain?
In dome mountains, uplift pushes a large body of hardened magma toward the surface. The hardened magma forces the layers of rock to bend upward in a dome shape. In a lava plateau, lava can flow out of two long cracks in an area. The thin, runny lava floods the area and travels far before cooling and solidifying.
Example of a plateau?
