7 Απρ 2015 · One of these volcanoes, Mount Pelée, sat just 7 kilometers from St. Pierre and soared almost 1,400 meters above the city. Its smooth, verdant slopes lumbered down to the sea, cut in places by deep, raw gashes. Its summit crater drew adventurous hikers who occasionally caught whiffs of putrid gases.
1 Οκτ 2021 · Montagne Pelée is one of the most active volcanoes of the Lesser Antilles arc, with two to three magmatic eruptions per millennium and an estimated magmatic production rate in the order of 0.7 km 3 /1000 years.
More than 30 eruptions have been identified during the last 5,000 years of the volcano's activity. Three thousand years ago, following a large pumice eruption, the Étang Sec (French for Dry Pond) caldera was then formed. The 1902 eruption took place within the Étang Sec crater.
The differences in styles of eruption are attributed to differences in viscosity and mechanism of eruption of the magmas. Stratigraphic studies of Mt. Pelée reveal that the volcano has produced basaltic andesite scoria and ash deposits from St. Vincent-type eruptions.
Mount Pelée is a stratovolcano that forms the north end of the French island of Martinique, along the Lesser Antilles subduction zone. There have been at least four eruptions over the past 250 years: phreatic eruptions in 1792 and 1851, and more recently, magmatic eruptions that built lava domes during 1902-1905 and 1929-1932.
11 Ιουν 2015 · This paper presents the method used to numerically model the successive paleotopographies of the Mont Conil-Mont Pelée volcano at different epochs of its history over the past 550 kyr. We then use these paleodigital elevation models (PDEMs) to estimate volumes and rates of construction and destruction.
The 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée was a volcanic eruption on the island of Martinique in the Lesser Antilles Volcanic Arc of the eastern Caribbean, which was one of the deadliest eruptions in recorded history.
