Observations of Deformation
Volcano number: | 221071 |
---|---|
Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
Country: | Ethiopia |
Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
Deformation observation? | No |
Measurement method(s): | InSAR |
Duration of observation: | 2005 - 2010 |
Characteristics of deformation: | Bora Ale, located in the centre of the Erta Ale Range, initially formed submarine. The most recent, although undated activity, were basaltic lava flows from a NNW-trending fissure that cut across the stratovolcano. Pagli, et al. (2014), for the purposes of investigating regional velocity fields, has looked at Envisat InSAR data (2005 – 2010) covering this volcano. They report no deformation. Some fumarolic activity can be found towards this north of this volcano however. |
