Geologic Setting of the High Lava Plains Kelsii Dana

Overview High Lava Plains of eastern Oregon bound by: – North- Blue Mountains – East- Precambrian North America – South- Basin and Range – West- Cascade Range

The Crust NE/C OR and W ID: – Paleozoic-Mesozoic oceanic volcanic arcs – Accretionary complexes – Basinal successions Similar terranes in Klamaths Crust km thick, thickening eastward

Regional Volcanism Voluminous Cenozoic volcanism: 1)Ignimbrite sweep 2)Flood basalts 3)Bimodal (modern) Highest bimodal volumes deposited: – High Lava Plains – Snake River Plain

Regional Volcanism Two migrating tracks: – NE along Snake River Plain toward Yellowstone – WNW along High Lava Plains (ends at Newberry) Indicated link between High Lava Plains and Cascades volcanism: – Increased volcanic output – Isotopic similarities – Merging structures
