Manda-Inakir

Fisura volcánica · Ethiopia-Djibouti · 600 m

The dark-colored lava flows extending diagonally across the center of this Landsat image were erupted from pyroclastic cones of Manda-Inakir volcano. These NNW-trending fissure vents and cones are located along the Ethiopia-Djibouti border and represent an uplifted mid-ocean ridge spreading center now exposed above sea level. An eruption in 1928 or 1929 at the SE end of the Manda-Inakir rift near the town of Korili (in Djibouti) produced the Kammourta cinder cone and a lava flow.

Resumen geológico

Manda-Inakir consists of a series of NW-trending fissure vents and pyroclastic cones along the Ethiopia-Djibouti border. The elongated complex represents an uplifted mid-ocean ridge spreading center now exposed above sea level. An elongated dome of basement rocks is cut by two axial rifts, the northern of which was active during historical time. Basaltic cinder cones along the rift's marginal faults have produced lava flows on the flanks of the structural dome, yielding a shield-like morphology. An eruption in 1928 or 1929 at the SE end near the town of Korili (in Djibouti) produced the Kammourta cinder cone and a lava flow.

Resumen de Wikipedia

Resumen en inglés

Manda-Inakir is a system of fissure vents and cinder cones located along the borders between Djibouti, Eritrea and Ethiopia. Last erupting in 1928, it produced a cinder cone called Kammourta. It has an elevation of over 600 metres.
