Gunung Palomo

Palomo

Stratovolkan · Chile · 4860 m

Palomo is a small, 4850-m-high stratovolcano that is seen here from the NNE rising above ruggedly dissected basement rocks. Palomo was constructed within double calderas, 3 and 5 km in diameter, respectively. A flank cone, Andres, is postglacial in age and has produced andesitic lava flows. Palomo has erupted basaltic andesite to dacitic lava flows. No historical eruptions are known from Palomo, although its youthful morphology suggests a very young age.

Ringkasan geologi

Palomo is a small stratovolcano that is somewhat dissected by glaciers. A NE-flank cone, Andres, is postglacial in age and has produced andesitic lava flows. The volcano lies W of the massive Caldera del Atuel and was constructed within double calderas 3 and 5 km in diameter. The largely ice-covered volcano has erupted basaltic andesite to dacitic lava flows; the double crater indicates migration of activity to the NE. The youthful morphology suggests a very recent, perhaps pre-Hispanic, age.
