Submarine Volcaniclastic Rocks

  • Chapter
Pyroclastic Rocks

Abstract

In this chapter we are concerned with underwater volcaniclastic eruptions and products, as well as pyroclastic flows and debris generated on land and transported by mass flowage into the sea. Submarine fallout deposits derived from land-based eruptions are treated in Chapter 7. Clastic materials redistributed as mass flows or turbidity currents originating from the rapid build-up of tephra and epiclastic volcanic debris along coastal parts of volcanoes are also discussed in various places throughout the text (e.g. Chap. 13).
