• there must be little to no water

• pressure must rise

• temperature must rise

• All of these choices would help a rock melt

Some volcanoes have steep slopes because...

• viscous lava solidifies before it gets very far down slope

• felsic magmas form broad, shallow piles

• mafic magmas form steep piles

• fluid lava solidifies before it goes very far down slope
