Plateau
What are the volcano prone areas of the world?
There are many areas around the world where volcanoes reside. Most volcanoes are near plate boundaries (see "what are tectonic plates?") because this is where lava from the mantle is forced upward, to the surface. Volcanoes formed in the middle of plates are formed from "hot spots", regions where hot rock and magma are forced to the surface from deep in the mantle in tube-like formations. As plates slide across these hot spots, lines of volcanoes are formed.
Slab that forms when magma squeezes between layer of rock?
A Sill is formed
Which types of lava eruptions cover the largest area on earths surface?
Discounting oceanic crust the largest areas of lavas are the flood basalts, mainly in Siberia and India.
What mass of molten rock formed at depth including dissolved gases and crystals?
It is magma, which becomes lava on erupting from a vent or volcano.

How are lava tubes formed?
Still-molten lava running out from below the solidified crust of a large lava flow.
What are dark colored relatively flat regions of the moon's surface formed when interior lava filled large basins?
The lunar maria (singular: mare) are large, dark, basaltic plains on Earth's Moon, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.no that won't fit in my crossword _ _ _ _ amaria
How are intermontane plateau formed?
Plateaus can be formed by a number of processes, including, upwelling of volcanic magma, extrusion of lava, and erosion by water and glaciers.Magma rises from the mantle causing the ground to swell upward, in this way large, flat areas of rock are uplifted.When plateaus are surrounded by mountains,then Intermontane plateau are formed.eg-The Tibean plateau.
Large group of rocks formed from magma or lava?
Igneous rock.
What is a lava plateau?
A lava plateau is a flat, wide surface (plateau) that is formed when lava comes out of the ground and spreads out very quickly. The lava layers form a lava plateau. With each eruption and flow of lava, the plateau grows in size.
How is maria formed?
It is a sea of lava, typically generated in a large impact event.
What are dark colored areas that look like oceans and were formed by lava flows?
The "Maria" on the Moon.
