Lava Plateau Volcanoes
Lava plateau. Lava plateaus are formed by highly fluid (runny) basaltic lava during numerous successive eruptions through numerous vents without violent explosions (quiet eruptions). These eruptions are quiet because of low viscosity of lava, so that it is very fluid and contains a small amount of trapped gases
A lava plateau is a wide, flat surface formed when a large amount of highly fluid lava flows over an area. This thin and runny lava can disperse over large areas, and as the lava cools and solidifies, it forms the large, flat plateaus of rock.
These are the some examples of Lava Plateau Volcanoes:
1.Benbulbin, sometimes spelled Ben Bulben or Benbulben (from the Irish: Binn Ghulbain), is a large rock formation in County Sligo, Ireland. It is part of the Dartry Mountains, in an area sometimes called "Yeats Country".
Benbulbin is a protected site, designated as a County Geological Site by Sligo County Council.
2.The Columbia Plateau is a geologic and geographic region that lies across parts of the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
