Chapter 2 Elementary Landforms and Processes I: Lava Flows, Lava Lakes, and Lava Domes
摘要
Lava flows, lava fieldsLava field (simple, compound) and lava lakes in craters are elementary landforms produced by effusive eruptions, in addition to lava domes created by extrusive activity. We look first in Sect. 1 at lava flows, the most widespread volcanic landforms on Earth as well as on planetary landscapes of Earth’s moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury and Io. Section 2 deals with lava lakes and their dynamics, and Sect. 3 covers lava domes and their emplacement.
