Erosion and deposition constantly change Earth's surface. Erosion carries natural materials like rock and soil from one place to another. Through deposition, these natural materials may be deposited in areas where they build up over time.

mud pot

caldera

lava plateau

D. Lava Plateau

Gage Miller · Answer 2

The correct answer is "lava plateau".

Explanation:

Lava plateau is a landform that is formed from the deposition of materials after many successive volcanic eruptions. These landforms are formed particularly after many quiet explosions, which produce very fluid lava. Pyroclastic plateaus is very similar to lava plateau, with the difference that they are comprised of pyroclastic rocks, which have agglomerates, tephra, and volcanic ashes.
