Pyroclastic Density Current Facies in the Millennium Eruption of Tianchi Volcano, Northeast China: Insights From Topography, Stratigraphy, Granulometry, and Petrography

Pyroclastic Density Current Facies in the Millennium Eruption of Tianchi Volcano, Northeast China: Insights From Topography, Stratigraphy, Granulometry, and Petrography

Large-scale pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) produce inhomogeneity of distributions, thicknesses, stratigraphic structures, and temperatures, thereby causing poor understanding of PDC emplacement processes. Millennium Eruption (ME) of Tianchi volcano in 946 A.D. produced masses of PDCs, covering...
