Definitions:

Volcanic Domes

Dome-shaped formations created by slow-moving, viscous lava that piles up near a volcano's vent rather than flowing away.

Viscous Lava Flows

Slow-moving lava flows that have a high viscosity, leading to thick, sticky forms of lava that do not travel far from the eruption site.

Cooled Lava

Solidified volcanic material formed when molten lava cools and hardens on the Earth's surface.

Basin-shaped Outline

Descriptive of a geographical depression or low area that resembles the shape of a basin, often collecting water and sediment.
