Name any four major types of landforms associated with volcanoes
Answers
Four major types of landforms associated with volcanoes are as follows:
• Volcanic pipe: This is the passage within a volcano starting from the magma chamber to the surface Fissure
• Eruption: A volcanic eruption from a fracture in the earth's surface rather than a volcanic vent is referred to as fissure eruption.
• Craters: A crater is a bowl-shaped depression present at the top of a volcano caused by past volcanic eruptions.
• Caldera: A caldera is a large depression caused by the imploding of a volcano due to the emptying of the magma chamber as a result of volcanic eruption.
Answer:
These landforms include:
Shield volcanoes
Cinder cone volcanoes
Composite volcanoes
Lava plateaus.
Most volcanoes are found along a belt, called the “Ring of Fire” that encircles the Pacific Ocean.
