  • Volcano Shapes: Understanding Flat Tops & Steep Sides
    This description sounds like a volcano.

    * Flat top: The summit of many volcanoes can be flat due to erosion or the formation of a caldera (a large crater).

    * Extremely steep sides: Volcanic cones are often characterized by steep slopes due to the accumulation of lava flows and ash.

    * Round or oblong shape: Volcanoes can take on various shapes, but many are roughly circular or oval in plan view.
