Volcanoes are in quite a few states. Mt St Helen's is one of the most famous
A quick list of others are these:
Alaska / Aleutian Islands have app. 70 % of active volcanoes
Hawaii / has several, now dormant
Colorado / Mississippi/ South Dakota have several
California / Oregon/ Washington are part of the Cascade Mountain Volcanoes...

How do lava tubes caves formed?
Lava tubs form as a result of pahoehoe lava flows. As one of these flows progresses, it builds of a layer of rock on top of it. eventually, thus becomes thick enough to support is own weight, and forms an insulating tube through which lava can flow.
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.
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
Is there a difference between lava and lava flow?
Lava is molten rock at earth's surface, whether it is in a lava flow, a lava pool, or a lava dome. A lava flow is lava that is actively flowing downhill.
Why would felsic lava not produce a natural tunnel within itself as it cools?
Lava tubes formed from mafic lava form when the lava forms a crust over itself, creating a tube through which it can flow and later leave empty. Felsic lava forms a crust, but is too viscous to entirely flow out of it.
How were the plains on mercury hypothesized to have formed?
from lava flow
How are lava tubes formed?
Still-molten lava running out from below the solidified crust of a large lava flow.
What kind of volcanoe is formed by slow lava flow?
Shield volcanoes.
How do lava tubes caves formed?
Lava tubs form as a result of pahoehoe lava flows. As one of these flows progresses, it builds of a layer of rock on top of it. eventually, thus becomes thick enough to support is own weight, and forms an insulating tube through which lava can flow.
What types of rocks are formed from a quickly cooled lava flow?
Cooled lava produces extrusive igneous rock.
What is a lava tube cave?
A lava tube cave is a natural tunnel formed by the flow of lava, creating a channel for molten lava to move through during a volcanic eruption. When the lava flow stops, the tube can cool, leaving behind a cave-like structure with unique geological features.
What does AA mean in terms of Earth Science?
AA: jagged chunks of lava formed by rapid cooling on the surface of a lava flow
Is a cave formed by erosion or deposition?
Erosion, with the exception of lava tubes that result from molten rock running out from beneath the solidifiedcrust of a lava flow.
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.

Is there a difference between lava and lava flow?
Lava is molten rock at earth's surface, whether it is in a lava flow, a lava pool, or a lava dome. A lava flow is lava that is actively flowing downhill.
What is a lava tube?
One formed below the solidified surface of a low-viscosity (basltic) lava flow by still-molten rock flowing out from under it.
