You are an archeologist trying to determine the type of a volcano that erupted thousands of years ago. All you have are a few lava samples from the volcano's remains. You test your lava samples and determine that the magma that they formed from must have had a low viscosity but a high gas content. You also determine that some of the rock is basalt. What kind of volcano have you discovered? Provide evidence to support your answer including addressing the type of explosion and rock content.

Respuesta :

The kind of volcano that you have discovered most likely is a shield volcano. The type of rock you found tells you the type of volcanic eruption it was. The viscosity of the lava that forms basalt is low. This is most likely a shield volcano. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

The answer is Shield Volcano

Good luck!
