Mafic lavas are erupt effusively due to

• because the lava is less viscous and contains less silica

• because the lava is more viscous and contains more silica

• because the lava is less viscous and contains no silica

• because the lava is less viscous and contains more silica

Which is the most common type of volcano?

• Supervolcanoes

• Composite volcanoes

• Cinder volcanoes

• Shield volcanoes

Mauna Kea, the largest mountain on Earth which type of volcano?

• Composite

• Shield

• Cinder

• Caldera

Fissures are

• lava with high silica amounts

• a product of composite volcano eruptions

• lava with low silica amounts

• small eruptions in which magma flows out of cracks in the ground

This forms when a volcano collapses into its magma chamber during an explosive eruption.

• Fissure

• Shield volcano

• Cinder cone

• Caldera

The largest supervolcano in North America is

• Mount St. Helens

• Yellowstone caldera

• Mauna Kae

• Mount Ranier
