Northern Chile, Bolivia and Argentina, South America, -24.05°S / -66.48°W Current status: (probably) extinct (0 out of 5)
Typical eruption style: explosive & effusive
Tuzgle volcano eruptions: between 10,000 and 100,000 years ago Background:Several edifice-collapse events occurred during the evolution of Cerro Tuzgle volcano. An older caldera and a perhaps related rhyodacitic ignimbrite deposit can still be recognized. A lava dome complex was constructed on the rim of the caldera. Later andesitic lava flows covered much of the dome complex and partially filled the caldera.(Source: GVP volcano information) |
