Answer:

The volcano over a mantle hotspot

Explanation:

I say this because lava comes from the grinding of those mantles, which melt rocks and make lava. If the mantles are super active, the lava will more than likely be explosive. Think of this (heat wise) as tea boiling in a kettle. The stove is the mantle, kettle as volcano and water as lava. When the mantles get hot enough they push that heat and pressure into the water, making it boil and when the steam starts to squeal out of the kettle, the volcano has erupted. Hope this helped!

klasskru [66]
<span>What will happen is that the Mediterranean sea would cease to exist and since the plates would hit each other, the result would be formation of mountains. We've seen this with the Himalayas who got formed in the exact same manner and will only continue to grow, except on a different part of the world where the continental plates are already meeting.</span>

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The Deccan plateau is a topographically variegated region located south of the Gangetic plains -the portion lying between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal- and includes a substantial area to the north of the Satpura Range, which has popularly been regarded as the divide between northern India and the Deccan. The plateau is bounded on the east and west by the Ghats, while its northern extremity is the Vindhya Range. The Deccan's average elevation is about 2,000 feet (600 m), sloping generally eastward; its principal rivers, the Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, flow from the Western Ghats eastward to the Bay of Bengal. Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu is often regarded as the Southern gateway of Deccan plateau.
