Volcanoes of the Azores Revealing the Geological Secrets of the Central Northern Atlantic Islands /

The Azores archipelago consists of nine islands that emerge from the Azores Plateau in the Central Northern Atlantic, situated within the triple junction of the American, Eurasian and African lithosphere plates. Subaerial volcanic activity has been well known since the Pliocene and continues today,...
