The lower hills at left and at right are lava domes belonging to the Amiata complex. |
Its 2,000-foot height and nearly 2-cubic kilometer volume make it one of the largest lava domes in the world. |
Each of the domes represents a battle in Ivan's triumphant war against the rebellious khan of Kazan. |
Several earlier lava domes formed after May 18, 1980 had been removed by explosive eruptions. |
Generally, newly erupted lava domes grow in an endogenous regime of growth that represents a thermo-mechanical continuum. |
Thermal and textural anomalies seen on the surface of the lava domes change markedly during the restive state prior to larger eruptions. |
