    • Terceira shows a great diversity of lavas and pyroclastics for an oceanic island and is noteworthy for voluminous production of peralkaline salic magma. Four volcanoes form the island; three are composed of both basic and salic rocks and one has only salic rocks exposed. Since the emergence of the island a compositionally bimodal population of rocks has been represented. The products of over 100 eruptions in the upper Terceira Group have been recognised. These include ignimbrites, pumice fall… CONTINUE READING
