The caldera-forming event occurred about 75,000 years ago from a major explosive eruption. [50] It formed the crater lakes and Paulina Peak—which is the highest point on the volcano, [49] at 7,989 feet (2,435 m). [1] As a result of its caldera-forming eruption, [33] Newberry has a horizontal profile, which is typical of a shield volcano. [3]
Newberry National Volcanic Monument was designated on November 5, 1990, to protect the area around the Newberry Volcano in the U.S. state of Oregon. [2] The monument was created within the boundaries of the Deschutes National Forest, which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service, and includes 54,822 acres (86 sq mi; 222 km 2) of lakes, lava flows, and geologic features in central Oregon.
Four Craters Lava Field is a basaltic volcanic field located south east of Newberry Caldera in the U.S. state of Oregon. [1] The volcanic field covers about 30 square kilometers and post-dates Mount Mazama's eruption. [3] Four Holocene cinder cones are the source of the flows in the field and are aligned along a fissure trending N 30° W. The ...
East Lake is one of the twin lakes that occupy part of the Newberry Crater or caldera in Central Oregon, United States. It is located in the Deschutes National Forest near the city of La Pine. The caldera was formed over 500,000 years ago from volcanic eruptions. East Lake's water comes from snow melt, rainfall, and hot springs only.
Progression of ages of rhyolitic (silicic) lavas and calderas from McDermitt Caldera to Newberry and Yellowstone calderas (red circles: MC, NC, & YC). Numbers are ages in millions of years. KBML – Klamath–Blue Mountains Lineament, HLP – High Lava Plains, EDZ – Eugene—Denio Zone, BFZ – Brothers Fault Zone, SMF – Steens Mountain ...
Formed by the Newberry Volcano, it is part of Newberry National Volcanic Monument. At an elevation of 7,984 feet (2,434 m), it is the highest point on the volcano. The peak gives a panoramic view of the Newberry Caldera, the south and west flanks of the Newberry Volcano, the Cascades, the Fort Rock Basin, and central Oregon.
Power outage maps on Monday showed a stark split down the middle of South Carolina between powered-up blue counties in the east and often dark red in the west — including Newberry County, where ...
China Hat is a volcanic butte on the southeastern flank of Newberry Volcano in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States. It is a rhyolitic dome dating from the age of the Middle Pleistocene. [ 2 ] Both China Hat and nearby East Butte are covered by Mazama Ash and Newberry Ash .
