Dive into the research topics of 'Mafic Plinian volcanism and ignimbrite emplacement at Tofua volcano, Tonga'. Common sub-rounded and frequently cauliform scoria bombs throughout the ignimbrite attest to a small degree of marginal magma-water interaction. Manaka is situated east of Ha'apai. The volcano is dominated by a distinctive caldera averaging 4 km in diameter, containing a freshwater lake in the south and east.
We propose that the development of a water-saturated dacite body at shallow (<6 km) depth resulted in failure of the chamber roof to cause sudden evacuation of material, producing a Plinian eruption column. A maximum total volume of 8 km3 of juvenile material was erupted by these events. The volcano is dominated by a distinctive caldera averaging 4 km in diameter, containing a freshwater lake in the south and east. By continuing you agree to the Radiocarbon dating of charcoal below the Tofua ignimbrite and organic material below the related fall units imply this eruption sequence occurred post 1,000 years BP. This ignimbrite was deposited in a radial fashion over the entire island, with associated Plinian fall deposits up to 0.
The products are basaltic andesites with between 52 wt.% and 57 wt.% SiO2. Die wenigen Männer, die sich zu diesem Zweck gelegentlich auf der Insel aufhalten, benutzen die Hütten des verlassenen Dorfes Manaka an der Ostküste der Insel als Unterkunft.
Tofua Island is the largest emergent mafic volcano within the Tofua arc, Tonga, southwest Pacific. The few men who occasionally residing for this purpose on the island, use the huts of the abandoned village Manaka to the southeast of the island as a guest.

The volcano is dominated by a distinctive caldera averaging 4 km in diameter, containing a freshwater lake in the south and east.
The first and largest eruption caused the inward collapse of a stratovolcano and produced the 'Tofua' ignimbrite and a sub-circular caldera located slightly northwest of the island's centre. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal below the Tofua ignimbrite and organic material below the related fall units imply this eruption sequence occurred post 1,000 years BP.
The few men who occasionally residing for this purpose on the island, use the huts of the abandoned village Manaka to the southeast of the island as a guest. Crew: 312 officers and crew; 150 visiting personnel; 3,200 person evac limit. The latest paroxysmal (VEI 5-6) explosive volcanism includes two phases of activity, each emplacing a high-grade ignimbrite. Common sub-rounded and frequently cauliform scoria bombs throughout the ignimbrite attest to a small degree of marginal magma-water interaction. Following a brief period of quiescence, large-scale faulting in the southeast of the island produced a second explosive phase believed to result from recharge of a chemically distinct magma depleted in incompatible elements.

Hokula is situated north of Ha'apai. A maximum total volume of 8 km3 of juvenile material was erupted by these events. Manaka is in Ha'apai. The common intense welding of the coarse-grained eruptive products, however, suggests that the majority of the erupted magma was hot, water-undersaturated and supplied at high rates with moderately low fragmentation efficiency and low levels of interaction with external water. Tofua Island is the largest emergent mafic volcano within the Tofua arc, Tonga, southwest Pacific. The first and largest eruption caused the inward collapse of a stratovolcano and produced the 'Tofua' ignimbrite and a sub-circular caldera located slightly northwest of the island's centre.
The water depth between Tofua and Kao is around two thousand meters.
