31 Οκτ 2023 · Mount Mazama was formed as a succession of overlapping cones and shields during a period of relatively continuous volcanic activity that lasted nearly half a million years, from about 420 to 40 ka. The first eruptions built Mount Scott, located just east of Crater Lake.
23 Οκτ 2023 · Mount Mazama began erupting relatively continuously 420,000 years ago as a complex of overlapping shields and stratovolcanoes, each of which probably was active for up to 70,000 years. The massive volcano erupted violently 7,700 years ago, accompanied by collapse of the entire upper half of the edifice.
Crater Lake is located within a huge volcanic caldera in the Cascade Range of southwestern Oregon. The caldera was formed when the magma underneath a volcano drained away.
Mount Mazama formed as a group of overlapping volcanic edifices such as shield volcanoes and small composite cones, becoming active intermittently until its climactic eruption 7,700 years ago. This eruption, the largest known within the Cascade Volcanic Arc in a million years, destroyed Mazama's summit, reducing its approximate 12,000-foot ...
29 Οκτ 2023 · Since the climactic eruption of Mount Mazama, “postcaldera volcanism,” has been confined within the caldera.
Mount Mazama, the volcano that created the caldera, erupted and collapsed about 7,700 years ago. Later, smaller eruptions left behind cone-shaped hills, called cinder cones, on the floor of the caldera.
6 Δεκ 2022 · Mount Mazama, although its presence across the landscape lacks an exposed summit, is ranked 17th among the 161 potentially most dangerous volcanoes. About 4,800 years ago, a viscous rhyodacite dome nearly breached the lake surface. This is the youngest eruption product that has yet been recognized.
