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.

- Geology and History Summary for Mount Mazama and Crater Lake
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 ...
23 Οκτ 2023 · The massive volcano erupted violently 7,700 years ago, accompanied by collapse of the entire upper half of the edifice. Prior to its climactic eruption Mount Mazama had a summit elevation of about 3,700 m (12,000 ft). The present high point is Mount Scott at 2,721 m (8929 ft), 3 km (about 2 mi) east of the caldera rim.
30 Οκτ 2023 · 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.
Crater Lake fills half of the 8- by 10-km-diameter caldera formed during the climactic eruption of Mount Mazama volcano approximately 7,700 years ago. Volcanic rocks exposed in the caldera walls and on the flanks record over
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.
1 Νοε 2006 · The Cascade arc volcano known as Mount Mazama collapsed during its climactic eruption of ∼50 km 3 of mainly rhyodacitic magma ∼7700 yr ago to form Crater Lake caldera. The Mazama edifice was constructed on a Pleistocene silicic lava field, amidst monogenetic and shield volcanoes ranging from basalt to andesite similar to parental magmas for ...
