Colachi

Stratovolkan · Chile · 5631 m

Colachi (left) is an andesitic-dacitic stratovolcano whose most recent activity produced pristine silicic lava flows of probable Holocene age.  The largest of these covers a 7 km2 area on the saddle between Colachi and the neighboring volcano of Acamarachi (center horizon).  This aerial view from the west also shows the conical peak of Aguas Calientes (far right), a twin volcano of Lascar volcano, whose slopes appear at the lower right.  The Talabre valley in the center foreground is partially filled by an andesitic lava flow from Lascar.

Ringkasan geologi

Colachi is a andesitic-dacitic stratovolcano that was constructed on an uplifted block of welded ignimbrites. The most recent activity produced pristine silicic lava flows of probable Holocene age, the largest of which covers a 7 km2 area on the saddle between Colachi and the neighboring volcano of Acamarachi (de Silva and Francis, 1991). A smaller flow was erupted on the W flank. The closely spaced Colachi and Acamarachi volcanoes represent different magmatic systems (Gardeweg 1993, pers. comm.).

Ringkasan Wikipedia

Ringkasan Inggris

Colachi is a stratovolcano in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile. It was built on a basement of ignimbrites. A 7 km² silicic lava flow lies on the saddle between the volcano and Acamarachi.
