Belknap Crater

Belknap

순상화산 · United States · 2094m

The McKenzie Pass area in the central Oregon Cascades contains one of the largest concentrations of recent volcanism in the United States. Belknap shield volcano, seen here from Black Crater to the SE, is capped by a smaller snow-covered cone. Lava flows from Belknap and the smaller Little Belknap shield volcano in front of it cover nearly 100 km2. Most of the largely unvegetated flows were erupted between about 2,900 and 1,500 years ago.

The Belknap Crater area near McKenzie Pass in Oregon, north of the Three Sisters volcanoes, was the source of one of the largest concentrations of youthful volcanism in the Cascade Range. The basaltic to basaltic andesite Belknap shield volcano, topped by the Belknap Crater pyroclastic cone and the Little Belknap shield volcano immediately to the east, have produced widespread late Holocene lava flows on all sides, much of which took place between about 3,000 and 1,500 years ago. Eruptions from the NE base of Belknap crater produced lava flows that traveled 15 km W into the McKenzie River valley.

영어 요약

Belknap Crater is a shield volcano in the Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Oregon. Located in Linn County, it is associated with lava fields and numerous subfeatures including the Little Belknap and South Belknap volcanic cones. It lies north of McKenzie Pass and forms part of the Mount Washington Wilderness. Belknap is not forested and most of its lava flows are not vegetated, though there is some wildlife in the area around the volcano, as well as a number of tree molds formed by its eruptive activity.
