The climactic eruption of Mount Mazama devastated the terrain for tens of kilometers from the volcano, sent pyroclastic flows as far as 70 km (43 mi) down every valley heading on the volcano, and produced ash fall throughout much of the Pacific Northwest and parts of southern Canada.
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 ...
Decades of detailed scientific studies of Mount Mazama and new maps of the floor of Crater Lake reveal stunning details of the volcano’s eruptive history and identify potential hazards from future eruptions and earthquakes.
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.
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.
8 Μαΐ 2022 · Situated within the Pacific Northwest’s Cascade Range, the volcanic eruption of Mount Mazama 7,700 years ago left a caldera in place of the mountain’s summit. Geologic features within the lake’s rim as well as the surrounding landscape reveal the history of the volcanic processes that shaped Mount Mazama before, during, and after its ...
