Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.

Basanite

Basanite is an igneous, volcanic (extrusive) rock with aphanitic to porphyritic texture.

Cinder cone

A cinder cone (or scoria cone) is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as volcanic clinkers, volcanic ash, or scoria that has been built around a volcanic vent.

Holocene

The Holocene is the current geological epoch, beginning approximately 11,700 years ago.

Lava

Lava is molten or partially molten rock (magma) that has been expelled from the interior of a terrestrial planet (such as Earth) or a moon onto its surface.

List of Northern Cordilleran volcanoes

The geography of northwestern British Columbia and Yukon, Canada is dominated by volcanoes of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province formed due to continental rifting of the North American Plate. Alligator Lake volcanic complex and List of Northern Cordilleran volcanoes are Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province and volcanoes of Yukon.

Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province

The Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province (NCVP), formerly known as the Stikine Volcanic Belt, is a geologic province defined by the occurrence of Miocene to Holocene volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest of North America.

Shield volcano

A shield volcano is a type of volcano named for its low profile, resembling a shield lying on the ground.

Volcanic field

A volcanic field or crater row is an area of Earth's crust that is prone to localized volcanic activity.

Volcanism of Canada

Volcanic activity is a major part of the geology of Canada and is characterized by many types of volcanic landform, including lava flows, volcanic plateaus, lava domes, cinder cones, stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, submarine volcanoes, calderas, diatremes, and maars, along with less common volcanic forms such as tuyas and subglacial mounds.
