| Summary: |
"Volcanotectonics is comparatively new scientific field that combines various methods and techniques of geology and physics so as to understand the structure and behaviour of polygenetic (central) volcanoes and the conditions for their eruptions. More specifically, volcanotectonics uses the techniques and methods of tectonics, structural geology, geophysics, and physics to collect data on volcanoes, as well as to analyse and interpret the physical processes that generate those data. The focus is on processes responsible for periods of volcanic unrest, caldera collapses, and eruptions"-- |
