Lava Domes - How a Dome Grows
Click to enlarge [Schematic,22K,GIF]
Dome Growth 1980-83 - Ground Profile -- Taken from tracings of photographs from fixed photo station on crater floor, approximately 1 kilometer north of center of dome. Products of each extrusive episode include talus that accumulated during that episode. Scale varies owing to perspective view; true east-west basal diameter of dome in December 1983 was about 830 meters.
-- Modified from: Swanson, et.al., 1987, IN: GSA Special Paper 212

Dome Growth 1980-86 - Yearly Ground Profile -- Taken from tracings of photographs from fixed photo station on crater floor, approximately 1 kilometer north of center of dome. Includes accumulated talus. Scale varies owing to perspective view. Approximate 1986 east-west basal diameter of dome was about 860 meters.
