Cay volcano is basaltic and dacitic in composition. It contains an explosion crater open to the east, and about a half dozen explosion craters and pyroclastic cones along a fissure trending SW of the summit. Another 10 basaltic cinder cones are located along a second parallel fissure 5 km to the SE, which is part of the major regional Liquiñe-Ofqui fault zone. Beschreibung:The volcanoes of the South Andean Volcanic Zone are typically calkalkalineand the result of the subduction of the Nazca Plate under the South America Plate.
