Chronology, evolution and morphology of plateau basalt eruptive centers in Avacha River Area, Kamchatka, Russia
Nineteen Holocene eruptive centers (cinder cones with lava flows and maars) were located and described in the Avacha horst and anticline zone west of the East Kamchatka volcanic area. A tephrochronological study and the carbon-14 dating of soil and plant remains ranked the eruptive centers into thre...
