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.

if a flower were orange would it more likely be pollinated by insects or by the wind give at least one reason for your answer
yan [13]

It would more likely to be pollinated by insects.


This is because the bright color of the petals can attract insects towards the flower thus sticking some pollen grains and transfer them to the stigma (female part of flower).


On the other hand, the color of petals do not really have effect on the wind pollination. Therefore this explains why wind pollinated flowers usually have small or dull colored petals.
