Classification of Volcanoes
Active
- Eruption in historic times
- Historical record - 500 years
- C14 dating - 10,000 years
- Local seismic activity
- Oral / folkloric history
Potentially Active
- Solfataras / Fumaroles
- Geologically young (possibly erupted < 10,000 years and for calderas and large systems - possibly < 25,000 years).
- Young-looking geomorphology (thin soil cover/sparse vegetation; low degree of erosion and dissection; young vent featuresl; +/- vegetation cover).
- Suspected seismic activity.
- Documented local ground deformation
- Geochemical indicators of magmatic involvement.
- Geophysical proof of magma bodies.
- Strong connection with subduction zones and external tectonic settings.
Inactive
No record of eruption and its form is beginning to change by the agents of weathering and
erosion via formation of deep and long gullies. |
