Answer:

The correct answer is ''shield volcano.''

Explanation:

Shield volcanoes are those whose diameter is much greater than its height. They are formed by the successive accumulation of very fluid lava flows. So they are of considerable height and slight slope. Its topography is smooth and its top forms a poorly defined depression. Lava ejected during an eruption is largely basaltic in composition and has a very low viscosity (it is liquid). Because of this, lava flows easily and spreads over a large area. Shield volcano eruptions generally involve lava that travels great distances and spreads out in thin layers. As a result, the volcanic mountain that is built over time by repeated lava flows has a broad, smooth profile leading away from a bowl-shaped depression at the top known as a caldera.

One difference between algae and plants is that _____.
Zolol [24]

Answer: plants have roots, stems, or leaves

Algae and plants are similar organisms because both are autotrophic organisms which are able to produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis. The main difference between the two is the level of complexity. Algae are comparatively simple organisms, their structure ranges from single celled to multi-cellular organisms. They do not exhibit true roots, stems and leaves like plants. The plants exhibit complex specialized structure for transport of water, nutrients and to perform reproduction. The smallest to largest plant will exhibit roots, stems and leaves.

Through this process of the evolution, new species are developed over time. A single population may give rise to different species. These newly evolved species share similarities will each other as they have the same ancestor.
