Geology of the Medicine Lake Volcano
Geology of the Medicine Lake Volcano
The Medicine Lake Volcano only lies 50 km east of Mount Shasta but its broad, shield-like shape, absence of glaciers, and eruption of both fluid basalt and pasty rhyolite lavas make it completely different from a typical High Cascade stratovolcano. An introductory presentation will explore why these differences exist and a one-day field trip will afford students opportunities to study a wide variety of the volcano’s features: from spatter cones and cinder cones to glassy domes and the Medicine Lake caldera. Online Introduction 10/17, 6-9 PM.
