The flow mechanics and resulting erosional and depositional features of explosive volcanic density currents on earth and Mars

Creator:

Reimers, Clare E.

Abstract:

Straight, radial, erosional channels and fan-like deposits of tephra develop around steep-sided cones and composite volcanoes, but are not characteristic features of shield volcanoes. The channels and deposits normally are formed by explosive volcanic density currents which originate as nuées adrentes or base surges. The physical processes of explosive volcanic...
