Answer:

A lava dome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lava dome is the term used to describe situations in which lava eruptions appear in a very viscous way, presenting themselves as an exploded balloon on top of a volcano. This usually happens when the eruption is done in a very legendary way and the lava is rich in silica, which allows this viscosity that prevents the lava from running down the surface of the volcano.
