What interpretations can be made about the maturity of a volcano where most eruptions occur from basal fissures and there are a number of parasitic cones along the volcano's flanks?
- mature volcano
- early stages of growth

These are called as Lateral blasts.

Explanation:

The parasitic cone is a cone-shaped vent from where the reported lava comes out of the earth's crust. As the flank of the volcano is unstable. And eventually, the flank eruption leads to the formation of a parasitic cone. These mark a mature stage of growth of volcanoes. Lateral eruptions are typically formed near the rift zones where a volcano is breaking apart. An example can be given of Mt. St Helens, and Mayon volcano. The lateral explosion leads to the pyroclastic flows and lahars to occur and can span hundreds of square kilometers. Since these flanks are an easy to top break and molten lava thus escape out quickly.

Humid continental climate is found in the interior of continents between the 30 and 60 degrees latitude, but usually above the 40 degree line.   40 degrees north of the equator means less direct sunlight and therefore less warmth.   this climate is mainly found in the northern hemisphere since there are no major landmasses in the southern hemisphere.  if you live in northern indiana, you know all about humid continental because that is the climate type you have!
