Numerous tephra layers are visible. A volcanic plateau is a plateau produced by volcanic activity. There are two main types: lava plateaus and pyroclastic plateaus. Lava plateaus are formed by highly fluid basaltic lava during numerous successive eruptions through numerous vents without violent explosions (quiet eruptions).

2024年10月5日 · A volcanic plateau is a plateau produced by volcanic activity. There are two main types: lava plateaus and pyroclastic plateaus. Lava plateaus are formed by highly fluid (runny) basaltic lava during numerous successive eruptions through numerous vents without violent explosions (quiet eruptions).

Most plateau-type eruptions are fissure eruptions, often associated with volcanic centres. These eruptions tend to be long but narrow and are fed from dykes. A shield volcano builds up around a volcanic centre so that the lavas thin outwards from the volcano. The Hawaiian Islands are built from shield volcanoes.

熔岩高原是由大量粘度很小的基性玄武岩浆溢出地表，广大面积的地表被覆盖，一般表面平坦，一望无际，印度的德干高原是这种类型的代表，在那，玄武岩的分布面积不包括海底部分就达65万平方公里。 高原玄武岩厚度可以达到数千米，它流出来后，可以将坑坑洼洼起伏不平的地表掩埋，较高的山脉可以像岛屿状突露在玄武岩中。

The most famous example of a lava plateau in the United States is the Columbia Plateau. It covers most of southern Washington from its border with Idaho west to the Pacific Ocean and south into Oregon.

The North Island Volcanic Plateau is an area of high land occupying much of the centre of the North Island of New Zealand, with volcanoes, lava plateaus, and crater lakes, the most notable of which is the country's largest lake, Lake Taupō. The plateau stretches approximately 100 km east to west and 130 km north to south.

Layer upon layer of basalt have created the Columbia Plateau, which covers more than 161,000 square kilometers (63,000 square miles) in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Lava creates new land as it solidifies on the coast or emerges from beneath the water (Figure 5). Figure 5. Lava flowing into the sea creates new land in Hawaii.

Some plateaus are huge, like the Columbia Plateau in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho that covers over 161,000 square kilometers (63,000 square miles). Of course, not all magma reaches the surface. Sometimes magma stays beneath the ground where it solidifies. These formations are called intrusions (Figure 8.30).
