Mount Popa, in central Burma (Myanmar), is a large, steep-sided composite cone that rises above a surrounding lava plateau. The main edifice consists of overlapping basaltic and basaltic-andesite lava flows, pyroclastic deposits, and scoriaceous material originating from Strombolian eruptions that may have dominated later stages of the volcano ...

Jul 1, 2018 · We have investigated the youngest lava flows and pyroclasts of Mt. Popa, which is the best-preserved polygenetic volcanic edifice in Myanmar. The Ar/Ar dating of the youngest products of the volcano provided very young radiometric ages which were unable to …

Aug 16, 2024 · Mt. Popa volcano is a large stratovolcano at the northern end of the Pegu Yoma Hills range in central Burma. The steep-sided volcano rises 1150 m from its base of a surrounding lava plateau. It had an eruption in or around 442 BC, which is preserved in local legends.

We have investigated the youngest lava flows and pyroclasts of Mt. Popa, which is the best-preserved polygenetic volcanic edifice in Myanmar. The Ar/Ar dating of the youngest products of the volcano provided very young radiometric ages which were unable to be measured accurately.

Oct 4, 2010 · Mount Popa contains a 1.6-km-wide, 850-m-deep horseshoe-shaped caldera that is widely breached to the NW and formed as a result of slope failure. A 3 cu km debris-avalanche deposit covers an area of 27 sq km north of the breach. Local …

The separately standing complex volcanic edifice is composed of lava flows and domes (basalts to dacites).

Popa volcano formed in late Pleistocene and local legends describe an eruption in 442 BC. Eruption products of Mt. Popa volcano cover an area of 153 sq km. The cone rises 1150 m above the surrounding terrain, with slopes of 25-30 deg.

Jun 1, 2018 · Belousov et al. (2018) recently recorded that the youngest eruption occurred ∼8000 BP at Mt Popa. The magmatic and tectonic evolution of the WMA, located in the central part of the Myanmar ...

A monkey that is new to science has recently been discovered in the forests of Mount Popa. The Popa langur, named after its home on Mount Popa, is critically endangered with numbers down to about 200 individuals. Langurs are a group of leaf-eating monkeys that …
