地質学的概要
Adwa (also known as Aabida, Amoissa, or Dabita), is a broad stratovolcano in the southern Afar area immediately east of the younger vegetated Ayelu volcano. It has a roughly 3 x 4 km caldera that originated following eruption of voluminous ignimbrites, with a trachytic dome extruded in the eastern part of the caldera. Scoria cones are located on the floor of the caldera and on its NW and SW flanks. Extensive young basaltic lava flows cover the flanks and overlap a sedimentary plain to the SE. Many fumaroles occur within the caldera. Satellitic pyroclastic cones and lava domes were considered to be only a few hundred years old (Mohr 1980, pers. comm.). Dark lava flows originating from cones about 4 km from the caldera rim on the SW flank cover more than 50 km2.
Wikipedia の要約
英語版の要約Adwa is a stratovolcano in Ethiopia, located in the western Afar Region region and has a 4 by 5 km caldera. Due to the location of the volcano near the boundary between Afar and Issa tribes, little is known about the past and present behavior of the volcano. However, an earthquake and InSAR study conducted by Derek Keir and colleagues shows that a magma intrusion around 5 km deep and 8 km long emanated away from the eastern side of the volcano in May 2000.
