How a shield volcano is formed?
shield volcanoes are formed by lava flows or low viscosity lava that flows easily...
What are dark colored areas that look like oceans and were formed by lava flows?
Those are likely basaltic lava fields called "lava fields" or "lava beds." These areas are created when lava flows and cools to form a hardened surface. They can resemble oceans because of their dark color and often expansive appearance.
What flows from rifts in the sea floor and builds up high enough to break the oceans surface?
Lava
Does a cinder cone produce lava flows?
Yes, cinder cones can produce lava flows. Typically, these flows are relatively short and are composed of basaltic lava. Cinder cones are formed from the accumulation of volcanic cinders and ash around a central vent.
Was Plato crater made before or after lava flowed into mare imbrium?
The Plato crater was formed before lava flowed into the Mare Imbrium. Plato crater is a impact crater, while lava flows are a result of volcanic activity. The lava flows in Mare Imbrium are believed to have occurred after the impact event that formed the Plato crater.
Does steam gas and dust pile up harden and form a volcano?
Steam and gas cannot pile up. Stratovolcanoes are composed of piles of volcanic ash ("dust") and lava flows. Cinder cones are composed of piles of rock fragments. Shield volcanoes are composed of layers of lava flows.
What types of rocks are formed from lava on the oceans floor?
Igneous Extrusive rocks. It that too general?
Which moon surface features probably formed when lava flows filled large basins?
The moon surface features that probably formed when lava flows filled large basins are called maria, which are large, dark plains visible from Earth. These maria were created by ancient volcanic activity that filled the low-lying basin areas with basaltic lava flows.
When lava flows and cools on Earth's surface it forms what kind of rock?
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidificatio of magma or lava.
Very broad volcano with gentle slopes formed from basalt lava flows.?
it is a shield volcano
What are lava flows on a volcano?
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
What formed the Columbia Plateau?
The Columbia Plateau was formed by extensive lava flows from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. These lava flows covered a large area of land in the Pacific Northwest, creating a distinctive geological region known as the Columbia Plateau.
