Answer:

Volcanoes also build landforms far from their vents through the spread and petrification of their magma and other pyroclastic materials. Fissure eruptions of basalt, often called “flood basalts,” can build vast lava plateaus that cover thousands of square kilometers. ... Lava flows often follow existing river drainages.

Hope this helps☺️
