Consider the following statements about extrusive volcanic landforms
The Deccan Trap of India is formed when volcanoes outpour highly fluid lava that flows over long distances.
In shield volcanoes, the pyroclastic material accumulates in the vicinity of the vent openings leading to the formation of layers.
Calderas are formed when volcanoes erupt and it tend to collapse on themselves rather than building any tall structure.
Composite volcanoes are characterised by low explosivity with wide base and low slope.
Choose the correct statement/s:
1 and 3 only
2 and 4 only
1,2 and 4 only
All of the above
Extrusive rock refers to the mode of igneous volcanic rock formation in which hot magma from inside the Earth flows out (extrudes) onto the surface as lava or explodes violently into the atmosphere to fall back as pyroclastics or tuff.
The Deccan Traps from India, presently covering most of the Maharashtra plateau, are a much larger flood basalt province. Flood Basalt volcanoes contains highly fluid lava that flows for long distances.
Shield volcanoes are mostly made up of basalt, a type of lava that is very fluid when erupted. For this reason, these volcanoes are not steep. They become explosive if somehow water gets into the vent; otherwise, they are characterised by low-explosivity. The upcoming lava moves in the form of a fountain and throws out the cone at the top of the vent and develops into cinder cone.
A caldera is a large depression formed when a volcano erupts and collapses. During a volcanic eruption, magma present in the magma chamber underneath the volcano is expelled, often forcefully. When the magma chamber empties, the support that the magma had provided inside the chamber disappears. As a result, the sides and top of the volcano collapse inward. Calderas are formed from stratovolcano (straight) or composite volcano.
Composite volcanoes are characterised by eruptions of cooler and more viscous lavas than basalt. These volcanoes often result in explosive eruptions. Along with lava, large quantities of pyroclastic material and ashes find their way to the ground. This material accumulates in the vicinity of the vent openings leading to formation of layers, and this makes the mounts appear as composite volcanoes.
