Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Flood basalts are known for producing the largest volumes of basaltic lava. They cover vast areas with thick layers of lava flows over long - term eruptions. Hawaiian and Icelandic - style eruptions produce lava but not in the massive volumes of flood basalts. Phreatic eruptions are steam - driven and not primarily associated with large volumes of basaltic lava output.
  2. The image shows a fountain of lava being ejected from a volcano, which is characteristic of a Hawaiian - style eruption. Strombolian eruptions are also explosive but have a different pattern of ejecta. Icelandic - style eruptions often have more fissure - based lava flows and flood basalts are large - scale, long - term lava outpourings rather than the single - event type shown in the image.

Answer:

  1. C. flood basalts
  2. B. Hawaiian - style
