Read the information about the following volcanoes Mount Karsen Mount Althera Mount Velora Small to moderately sized volcanic edifice with steep, symmetrical slopes Built primarily from loose pyroclastic material such as cinders and volcanic bombs Eruptions are typically short-lived and moderately explosive Crater at the summit is well-defined and bowl-shaped Lava flows, when present, are limited in extent and often emerge from the base Tall, prominent volcano with steep upper slopes and a broad base Constructed from alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and pyroclastic deposits Eruptions vary from effusive to highly explosive over long periods of time Often associated with pyroclastic flows, ash columns, and volcanic lahars Magma composition is typically intermediate to felsic, contributing to higher viscosity Very broad, gently sloping profile with a low overall angle Formed almost entirely from repeated, fluid basaltic lava flows Eruptions are generally non-explosive and can last for long durations Lava flows can travel great distances before cooling Summit area may contain a caldera formed by collapse rather than explosive activity Mount Karsen is most likely a
