fissural การใช้
- Pico Alto, resulted from fissural eruption developing in the eastern corner of the island.
- This period also started with fissural basalts, but ended with violent eruptions of pyroclastic flows.
- It is a part of an active fissural volcanic complex which creates multiple seismic and volcanic events.
- It is a line of volcanic escoria cones of fissural nature lying on a west-northwest-east-southeast orientation consisting of basaltic volcanism of low explosivity.
- Underwater fissural eruptions originated from the pillow lava, which are produced by the rapid cooling of the magma when it comes in contact with water, obtaining their peculiar shape.
- The " Baixa " is one of these plateaus, made of submerged oceanic basalt cliffs created by fissural tectonics, with accentuated slopes aligned northwest to southeast from Ponta dos Rosais.
- About one million years ago, the Dorsal Range ( " Cordillera Dorsal " ) emerged by means of fissural volcanic activity occurring amidst the remains of the older Ancient Basaltic Series ( Series I ).
- The lower part of the parish developed along a planar zone that corresponds with the terminal area of basaltic fissural flows from the region of Pico da Bagacina, resulting in a gently sloping area towards the northwest.
- This feature is marked by trachyte domes and crosses from the coast at Ponta do Queimado ( from the historical basin of Serreta ) to the cliffs, faults, basaltic lava and fissural eruptions near the center of the island.
- To the west, the graben is completely covered by the Pico stratovolcano occurring less than 10, 000 years ago, and infilled by lava flows and cones of the Eastern Fissural zone, that includes many of the volcanic alignments and scarps.
- It is characterized by a flattened spire and three prominent keels on the last whorl below the carinate periphery . It most nearly resembles " Sukashitrochus dorbignyi " ( Audouin, 1826 ) but there are three keels besides the fissural carina.
