The British Parliament passed a law granting independence in July 1947. The law gave people only one month to decide which country they wanted to live in and to move there. As millions of people began to move, more violence broke out.
Calderas form when an enormous magma chamber under, what was probably a pretty ginormous volcano, empties and collapses, causing the land above it to collapse as well. An explosive caldera-forming eruption has never been witnessed first hand, but we know that they should pretty fearsome spectacles. Much smaller calderas atop effusive volcanoes (hawaiian style) have been observed. So, formation: maars form when a vent intersects groundwater and blasts out the overlying material.
Shield Volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are the largest volcanoes on Earth that actually look like volcanoes (i.e. not counting flood basalt flows). The Hawaiian shield volcanoes are the most famous examples. Shield volcanoes are almost exclusively basalt, a type of lava that is very fluid when erupted.For this reason these volcanoes are not steep (you can't pile up a fluid that easily runs downhill).he Hawaiian shield volcanoes are the most famous examples.
