Subaerial volcanic activity has been well known since the Pliocene and continues today, with several well-documented eruptions since the settlement of the islands in the fifteenth century. The origin of the Azores Plateau has been a matter of scientific debate and thus this book provides the first comprehensive overview of geological features in the Azores from volcanological, geochemical, petrological, paleontological, structural and hydrological perspectives. 410 0$aActive Volcanoes of the World,$x2195-3589 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aGeochemistry 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aStructural geology 606 $aGeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17002 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aGeochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G14003 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aSedimentology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17080 606 $aStructural Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17040 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aGeochemistry. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aStructural geology. 615 14$aGeology. 615 24$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aGeochemistry. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aSedimentology. 615 24$aStructural Geology. 676 $a551.21 702 $aKueppers$b Ulrich$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBeier$b Christoph$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299381303321 996 $aVolcanoes of the Azores$92531553 997 $aUNINA
