How Calderas Form:
Crater Lake, Oregon
Colorado Volcanoes ?– La Garita
Evolution of Volcanoes An active volcanic landscape
Evolution of Volcanoes A volcanic landscape after a million years or so
Mount Hood is a stratovolcano in the Cascades of northern Oregon
The caldera at Crater Lake National Park cuts through the flanks of the former Mount Mazama (composite cone)
Layers of tephra on Usu (stratovolcano) in Japan. The crater by the volcanologists was formed in
Eruption of Galunggung (stratovolcano) in Indonesia.
1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens produced 0.1 cubic miles (0.5 cubic km) of ash. Stratovolcanoes are associated with subduction zones, areas where dense oceanic plates are pushed beneath more buoyant continental plates.
The cinder cone in the above photo is Puu Lilinue on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
Cinder cones are produced by "fire fountains," low-energy eruptions that propel fragments of lava 100s of feet into the air.
A volcanic dome is a steep-sided, rounded extrusion of highly viscous lava squeezed out from a volcano to form a dome- shaped, or bulbous, mass of lava above and around the volcanic vent
During the eruption of Redpubt volcano (Alaska) several lava domes grew and collapsed near the summit of the volcano.
Flood Basalts The Columbia River basalts cover parts of the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and are a famous example of flood basalts that produced a lava plain.
Lava Eruptions under water or ice produce pillow lava (become pillow basalt)
Coastal Flows
"Pahoehoe" and "aa" are Hawaiian words used to describe the type of lava volcanoes have
