| Description |
English: Cinder cone complex in the Holocene of Idaho, USA.
This is Big Craters, a cinder cone complex in Idaho's Craters of the Moon Lava Field. Cinder cones are relatively small, steep-sided volcanic cones of loose igneous debris. They have few eruptions and a relatively large summit crater. Cinder cones are principally composed of scoria and vesicular basalt. The Big Craters complex has nine preserved craters. About 2,400 years ago, hawaiite lava flows were erupted from the complex - these have pahoehoe and slabby lava flow tops. Hawaiite is an alkaline variety of basalt. Locality: Big Craters Cinder Cone Complex (view from the summit of Inferno Cone), Craters of the Moon National Monument, Snake River Plain, southern Idaho, USA Site-specific info. from: Rivera et al. (2007) - Geologic Map of the Visitor Center Area, Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. |
