Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Coord Crater Basalt volcanic field is a volcanic field in Argentina.

The field in the Chubut province[1] covers a surface area of Шаблон:Convert and a width of Шаблон:Convert.[2] It presents nine[3] monogenetic volcanoes and several shield volcanoes that have merged to form volcanic plateaus.[4] The tallest of these cones, Antitruz 1, is Шаблон:Convert high.[2] Major cones in the field are Cerro Contreras, Cerro Fermín, Cerro Negro, Cerro Ventana, Cerro Volcán and Pinchuleu.[5] Of these Cerro Negro is the highest with Шаблон:Convert altitude.[6]

The field's products include lava and tephra.[7] In total 26 cones and 9 eruptive centres have generated Шаблон:Convert of eruption products. Volcanic cones are formed from spatter, which was still hot and liquid when falling down and fused together to form erosion-resistant spatter cones.[2] Lava flows in the area are pahoehoe that formed lava tubes, lava tumuli and "whaleback" structures.[8] They are between Шаблон:Convert thick.[5] Cerro Fermín alone is the origin of six lava flows.[6]

Being Шаблон:Convert east of the main arc[2] and beyond the edge of the Nazca Plate slab,[9] it is part of the back-arc of the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone.[7] The position next to the slab edge may be responsible for its existence.[10] The Southern Volcanic Zone is formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South America plate at a pace of Шаблон:Convert in the Peru-Chile Trench, Шаблон:Convert west of Crater Basalt.[5] It developed within the Шаблон:Convert wide Gastre graben that also contains salt pans.[2] This graben is part of a major fault system that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. Northeast of the field lies the Somuncura basaltic field of Oligocene-Miocene age and uncertain origin.[5]

It was active between 600 and 340 ka.[7] Three stages of activity have been identified, one 1 mya, the second 0.6 mya and the third 0.3 mya.[2] Activity has migrated eastward during time.[5] Other estimates indicate Holocene activity,[11] supported by stratigraphic relationships of Cerro Ventana and Cerro Contreras lava flows with nearby river sediments.[6][5] The Holocene Tagua ash (<2712–2360 BP) may originate from the Crater Basalt volcanic field but there are geographical and petrological problems with this theory.[12] There may be present-day thermal anomalies at the volcano.[13] In terms of hazard level, Crater Basalt volcanic field has been rated 35th out of 38 Argentinian volcanoes.[14]

The shield volcanoes have formed basalt as eruption products.[4] Crater Basalt basalts include basanite and trachybasalts.[5] Incompatible elements and rare-earth elements are enriched in these lavas.[8] The volcanic rocks are derived from decompression melting of the asthenosphere, with garnet and lherzolite as precursors.[7] Dunite xenoliths are found within the erupted basalts.[4]
