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...

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 effused by spatter-fed or clastogenic lava. These flows resulted from (a) reconstitution of fountain-generated spatter around vents by syn-depositional agglutination and coalescence, and (b) syn-eruptive collapse of rapidly grown spatter and scoria. In the studied lava shields three types of tumuli have been identified: (1) lava-coated tumuli, (2) upper-slope tumuli in near-source regions (both dominated in Libya), and (3) flowlobe tumuli in the distal areas (in all studied areas).
