Morphology of Quaternary phonolite lavas from Tenerife, Canary Islands
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Summary
Phonolite lava from the Viejo and Teide volcanoes show a wide variation in flow morphology, from viscous, spoon-shaped lavas to thin flows more than 8km long that often show well developed lava channels. The apparent fluidity of these lavas is considered to be largely due to their strongly alkaline character.
