Deep-Water Accumulation of Volcaniclastic Detritus from …

Understanding the temporal relationships which exists between volcanism and the accumulation of volcaniclastic sequences in deep-water basins still represents an intriguing problem that often weaken our capability in the reconstruction of mechanisms governing source-to-sink systems (e.g., [1,2,3]).Differently from all the other siliciclastic …

Distinguishing between primary and secondary …

Volcaniclastic deposits form by various processes of volcanic and sedimentary nature, comprising a range of particles that underwent diverse fragmentation, transport, and depositional processes...

Volcaniclastic deposits: fragmentation and general …

Volcanic successions can consist of both coherent lavas and a range of volcaniclastic deposits. Lavas, their characteristics and the parameters which control their characteristics, are discussed in Chapter 4. In this chapter we consider how volcaniclastic deposits...

Volcaniclastic Processes and Deposits in the Deep-Sea

Volcaniclastic deposits that are directly related to sub-marine eruptions generally occur in the vicinity of their volcanic sources and their dispersal may be more restricted. Indirect volcaniclastic-sedimentation results from the reworking of previously deposited volcanic material. It occurs both during syn-eruptive and inter-eruptive periods.

Volcaniclastics: Pyroclasts, Autoclasts, Alloclasts, and …

5. Mixed volcaniclastic materials . These deposits have mingled epiclastic or pyroclastic materials reworked in a lake or stream. We often classify such materials as volcaniclastics according to fragment size and pyroclastic material percentage. References. Best, M. G. (2013). Igneous and metamorphic petrology (2nd ed.).

Volcaniclastic Sedimentation in Lacustrine Settings

The unifying theme is that the effects of volcanism on lacustrine sedimentation are diverse and distinctive, and that volcaniclastic lacustrine sediments hold the key to understanding a range of processes and events that cannot be readily addressed by the study of any non-volcanic lakes. Thirteen papers, with authors from nine countries ...
