B
The surrounding areas can remain highlands, lava ridges or mesas.
C
Hawaiian shield volcanoes are eroded by steams that form deeply carved valleys with steeply sloping heads.
D
The system of streams on a dissected volcano cone is not a radial drainage pattern.
Correct Answer: The system of streams on a dissected volcano cone is not a radial drainage pattern.
Stratovolcano, also known as acomposite volcano, is aconical volcanobuilt up by many layers (strata) of hardened lava, tephra, pumice and ash. Because it is stratified, therefore it will definitely form a volcano cone.
