Answer
- Fissure
A fissure volcano occurs when the ground above an active volcano flow cracks, thus exposing the lava to the air. Choice B, a shield volcano, has a shape that gradually slopes down to the land surrounding it, and will mostly produce a slow oozing of lava to the area around it. Choices C and D both have a more mountainous exterior and typical “Hollywood” style explosions.
