31 Οκτ 2023 · These eruptions culminated 7,700 years ago in the largest explosive eruption in the Cascades during the past 1 million years, and one of the Earth’s largest eruptions in the past 12,000 years (Holocene Epoch). Mount Mazama's climactic eruption produced the caldera where Crater Lake exists today.

- Mount Mazama and Crater Lake: Growth and Destruction of a Cascades Volcano
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.
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.
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
