Question

A volcano erupts and creates a flat, barren plain below. What created the plain? (1 point)
• Mass wasting
• Deposition
• Weathering
• Erosion

Answer 1

The flat, barren plain created by a volcanic eruption is primarily a result of **deposition**. When a volcano erupts, it releases ash, lava, and other volcanic materials that settle on the ground and form new landforms, contributing to the creation of a flat plain.
