Volcanic Landforms
Volcanic landforms are features created by the eruption of magma from beneath the Earth's surface. These landforms include volcanoes, which can be classified into different types such as shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes. Each type has distinct shapes and eruption styles, influencing the surrounding landscape.
Another common volcanic landform is a caldera, which forms when a volcano erupts and collapses into itself, creating a large depression. Additionally, lava plateaus are formed by the flow of low-viscosity lava that spreads over vast areas, resulting in flat, elevated regions. These features contribute to the diversity of Earth's geology.
