Lava is very hot- it is melted rock. Hot rock + water= steam
shield volcanoes are formed by lava flows or low viscosity lava that flows easily...
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.
Lava
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.
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.
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.
Igneous Extrusive rocks. It that too general?
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.
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidificatio of magma or lava.
it is a shield volcano
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
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.
