▪ Abstract Earth, Venus, and Mars all exhibit populations of giant (radiating, linear, and
arcuate) mafic dike swarms hundreds to> 2000 km in length. On Earth the dikes are exposed …

The review examines the role of geomorphology in analyzing the volcanoes on Earth. Five
objectives are stressed. First, classifications of volcanic landforms should be improved to …

Abstract Mount Cameroon (4,095 m high and with a volume of∼ 1,200 km 3) is one of the
most active volcanoes in Africa, having erupted seven times in the last 100 years. This …

The structure and volcanic stratigraphy of the Pico Teide–Pico Viejo (PT–PV) formation,
deriving from the basanite–phonolite stratovolcanoes PT and PV, and numerous flank vent …

Unlike ordinary mountains, which are formed by slow uplift and erosion, volcanoes are
constructed rapidly. As a consequence, many are liable to massive flank failures, leading to …

We present a preliminary account of the near-field surface strain associated with a major
magmatic rifting episode at a nascent slow spreading ridge in the Afar depression. Between …

As volcanoes grow, they become ever heavier. Unlike mountains exhumed by erosion of
rocks that generally were lithified at depth, volcanoes typically are built of poorly …

Collapse calderas and resurgent domes are a common association related to inflation–
deflation processes in volcanic systems. The structure of calderas and domes depends upon …

We present a structural analysis of subaerial natural and analogue rockslide avalanches.
Such deposits often have well-developed faults, folds, and hummocks. These structures can …

An east-west trending structure in central Ethiopia, the Yerer Tullu-Wellel volcanotectonic
lineament, intersects the Main Ethiopian Rift and lies between latitudes 8° 20′ N and 9° …
