Question

Describe how the following volcanic features are formed:

1. Lava plateau 

Answer 1

• It is formed when magma reaches the earth surface through multiple vents/ fissures
• The lava is ultra-basic/ extremely fluid
• it flows over long distances, spreading evenly, covering hills and depressions 
• The lava cools slowly and solidifies
• Successive eruptions build up more layers, building a thick plain land/ table land called lava plateau
