This book reviews recent research on the latest eruptive cycle of volcanic activity in Tenerife: The formation of the Caldera de Las Canadas; the subsequent filling by rift activity and the eventual construction of Teide stratovolcano.

This book is based on recent research on the latest eruptive cycle of volcanic activity in Tenerife: 1. the formation of the Caldera de Las Ca adas, 2. the subsequent filling by rift activity and 3. eventual construction of Teide stratovolcano. The main interest of this volcanic system is the magmatic evolution towards higher differentiated rocks (phonolites), probably following the interaction of the rift system with a giant landslide. This magmatic sequence comprises the full spectrum of alkaline compositions in OIB settings, providing a large variability of eruptive mechanisms and...

The Geology of the Canary Islands provides a concise overview of the geology and volcanology of the Canary Islands, along with 27 carefully planned day excursions comprising trips on all of the islands. Each stop includes a description on how to approach a site and where to park with GPS locations provided.

The book covers all the spectacular features of the islands, including active ocean island volcanoes whose origins are linked to a hot spot or plume causing anomalously hot mantle material to intrude the African plate, submarine volcanic sequences uplifted inside the...
