Evolution and volcanic hazards of Taapaca Volcanic Complex, Central Andes of Northern Chile

Abstract: Taapaca Volcanic Complex is a large dacitic volcano (35 km 3 ) located in the western border of the active zone of the Central Andes of Northern Chile. Apart from early poorly preserved silicic andesites, Taapaca Volcanic Complex has generated remarkably similar porphyritic hornblende-biotite dacites with distinctive sanidine megacrysts for at least 1.5 Ma. The main products of the volcano are dacite lavas and domes with associated block-and-ash flow deposits. There have also been several sector collapses to g… Show more

“…At a small time scale, active geothermal systems at ice-capped volcanoes can enhance icemelt, especially at the base of glaciers (Björnsson, 1998), sometimes generating catastrophic floods associated with eruptions, that are known as jökulhlaups (Matthews & Clague, 1993), and also the main type of lahars produced in southern Chile (Moreno, 1993;Naranjo & Moreno, 2004). This effect has already been observed at the Guallatiri Volcano in northern Chile, where the glacier has completely melted in two fumarolic areas in the last decades, whereas glaciers on top of other active volcanoes without superficial geothermal field have remained more stable in recent years (Clavero, 2002).…”

“…Flank collapses can occur frequently and repeatedly in volcanic settings which host large, active hydrothermal systems, particularly in stratovolcanoes and silicic lava dome complexes (Vallance et al 1995;Capra et al 2002;Clavero et al 2004). Two pertinent and recent examples are the 1998 debris flow at Casita in Nicaragua (Sheridan et al 1999;Voight et al 2002;Opfergelt et al 2006) and the 1997 debris avalanche at Soufriere Hills, Montserrat Voight et al 2002).…”

“…El agua modela el terreno por medio de la erosión fluvial, resultado del escurrimiento en los ríos, lo que ha originado profundas quebradas que han erosionado y diseccionado la litología volcánica predominantemente; también lo hace como lluvia, mediante el golpeteo de las gotas de agua en los materiales de las laderas, cuya posterior movilización da paso a erosiones en surco y flujos de detritos, fenómenos influenciados primeramente por la gravedad y después por el agente intermediario (agua) para movilizar material. El magma es un agente endógeno que está presente en la estructura del CVT y las correspondientes formas del relieve, derivadas de los procesos eruptivos y la emisión de lava viscosa, flujos piroclásticos y avalanchas volcánicas (Clavero y Sparks 2005;Clavero et al 2004a).…”

“…Mientras que el área altiplánica se caracteriza por presentar un relieve predominantemente llano, sobre los 3.800 msnm, plateau riolítico terciario asociado a volcanismo fisural en el que sobresalen imponentes macizos volcánicos, relacionados a un volcanismo de tipo central cuaternario y que a su vez forman parte de la cordillera occidental en los Andes del Norte de Chile. Entre los principales y más estudiados macizos se distinguen los volcanes Pomerape, Parinacota (Clavero et al 2002(Clavero et al , 2004bWörner et al 1988), Tacora, Guallatiri (Watts et al 2014) y Taapaca (Clavero et al 2004a;Clavero y Sparks, 2005;Clavero 2007).…”
