A variety of volcanoes are found in the Basin and Range Province. Examples include
Schonchin Butte (a cinder cone in Lava Beds National Monument); Mammoth Mountain
(a lava dome in southeastern California); and Newberry Volcano (a shield volcano
in Newberry National Monument.
A cinder cone is a steep conical hill of volcanic fragments that accumulate around
and downwind from a volcanic vent.
A lava dome is a roughly circular mound-shaped
protrusion resulting from the slow eruption of lava from a volcano.
A shield
volcano is a broad rounded volcano that is built up by successive outpourings
of very fluid lava.
