Which of the following is a false statement describing the geology of Kilauea volcano, as observed by you during your virtual field trip? a. The rock surrounding you is lightly vegetated, with only a few small plants growing in the rock, probably because the lava flow is very young.
b. Large crystals of quartz are clearly visible in the rock, and weather out to form white sand and quartz gravel that litter the area.
c. The basaltic rock underfoot appears fairly solid but is broken into collapsed, crumpled, boulder-sized chunks.
d. Looking to the north reveals layers of basaltic rock that represent older stacked lava flows.
