The feature formed from the solidification of highly fluid basic lava on the earth's surface is known as a "basalt plateau." A basalt plateau is a large area of flat, elevated land that is formed by the accumulation of layers of basaltic lava flows. These lava flows are usually highly fluid and can cover vast areas of land. As they cool and solidify, they form a thick layer of basalt rock that can be several hundred meters thick. Over time, erosion can remove the overlying rock and expose the basalt plateau. Basalt plateaus are common in volcanic regions and are found all over the world.
