Abstract
The structure features of lavas and ignimbrites indicate a high role of volatiles in their formation and a rapid release of volatiles from cooling melt. This poses a high risk for the environment. For this reason it is important to study the structures of resulting volcanic rocks for predicting the degree of hazard in the event of a future resumption of volcanic activity.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Volcanology and Seismology publishes theoretical and experimental studies, communications, and reports on volcanic, seismic, geodynamic, and magmatic processes occurring in the areas of island arcs and other active regions of the Earth. In particular, the journal looks at present-day land and submarine volcanic activity; Neogene–Quaternary volcanism; mechanisms of plutonic activity; the geochemistry of volcanic and postvolcanic processes; geothermal systems in volcanic regions; and seismological monitoring. In addition, the journal surveys earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and techniques for predicting them.
