Morphology of lava tumuli from Mendoza (Argentina), Patagonia (Argentina), and Al-Haruj (Libya)

The studied volcanic fields are associated with compound flows near the vents that are characterised by a tube network, sky lights, ephemeral vents and tumuli. During discontinuous activity discrete, channel-fed aa flow units in near-vent position often form fanshaped flow fields that resemble vents...
