Does granite form gentle slopes?
No. Granites is very resistant to weathering. it will often form very steep slopes and sheer cliffs.
What is the slope for the shield volcano?
A shield volcano has very broad, gentle slopes.
Why do silica-poor magmas produce broad volcanoes with gentle slopes?
Silica poor magma is generally low in viscosity, and is therefore more fluid. The lava can travel a great distance before solidifying, thus creating broad gentle slopes.
Very broad volcano with gentle slopes formed from basalt lava flows.?
it is a shield volcano
A very broad volcano with gentle slopes?
It is likely a shield volcano, which is formed by the accumulation of numerous low viscosity lava flows. These volcanoes have gentle slopes due to the runny nature of their lava, allowing it to spread out widely as it flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Mauna Kea.
This kind of mountain has weathered and rounded peaks and gentle slopes?
mature
The kind of mountain has weathered and rounded peaks and gentle slopes?
The kind of mountain you are describing is most likely a "gentle sloping mountain" or a "shield volcano." These mountains are formed by layers of hardened lava flows and have weathered over time to have rounded peaks and gentle slopes. They are typically found in areas of low volcanic activity.
On topographic maps contour lines that are farther apart indicate .?
gentle slopes
What are lower and more rounded than mountains?
Hills are typically lower and more rounded than mountains. Hills are characterized by gentle slopes and smaller overall elevation compared to mountains. They are often found in less rugged terrain.
What are volcanoes with gentle slopes and quiet eruptions?
stalkers
Where is the biggest area of gentle slopes is found in the vicinity?
The biggest area of gentle slopes can typically be found in plains or coastal regions. These areas are often characterized by gradual inclines that are not too steep.
What kind of mountain has weathered and rounded peaks and gentle slopes?
These are either VERY old mountains formed by the crust compressing or mountains formed by the crust slowly pulling apart over time.
Does granite form gentle slopes?
No. Granites is very resistant to weathering. it will often form very steep slopes and sheer cliffs.
What is the slope for the shield volcano?
A shield volcano has very broad, gentle slopes.
What does the spacing between contour lines tell you?
closely spaced contour lines indicate steep slopes, wider ones indicate gentle slopes
