Pseudocraters or rootless cones are peculiar volcanic formations with an explosive origin. They do not form from magma coming from deep underground. They are caused by lava covering a water-rich layer ...

Rootless cones are small volcanic landforms ranging from several to several hundred meters in diameter, formed by continuous explosions resulting from the interaction between surface lava and water ...

Further supporting this idea, failed conduit structures observed in terrestrial lava outcrops suggest that conduit competition universally affects rootless cone formation. These experiments and ...
