A cinder cone (or scoria cone [1]) is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as volcanic clinkers, volcanic ash, or scoria that has been built around a volcanic vent. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The pyroclastic fragments are formed by explosive eruptions or lava fountains from a single, typically cylindrical, vent.
Powell Butte is a cinder cone butte [4] and is part of the Plio-Pleistocene Boring Lava Field, [4] a group of volcanic cones that got their name from the low, forested Boring Hills formation. [5] Located in the Portland Basin, the Boring Lava Field consists of monogenetic volcanic cones that appear as hills throughout the area, reaching heights ...
The Sand Mountain Volcanic Field includes 23 basalt and basaltic andesite cinder cones and associated lava flows, [5] which were produced by two roughly north–south trending [23] alignments of 42 volcanic vents. [5] The two groups cross near the Sand Mountain cinder cone; their alignments imply the existence of complex volcanic dikes under ...
Pilot Butte itself is a popular hiking destination with two trails to the summit, each gaining about 490 ft (150 m) in elevation. There is also a 1.8-mile (2.9 km) trail around the base of the butte. A scenic road also winds up and around the cone. In 2018, the park was the most visited Oregon state park east of the Cascade Mountains.
The Mount Washington Wilderness includes a number of cinder cones, typically with elevations between 150 and 300 feet (46 and 91 m). Composed of gray to red cinder, they also have scoria and welded spatter. [24] Major cinder cones in the wilderness include Belknap Crater, Twin Craters, Scott Mountain, and the Sand Mountain craters. [25]
