Observations of Deformation
| Volcano number: | 221105 |
|---|---|
| Region: | Africa and Red Sea |
| Country: | Ethiopia |
| Geodetic measurements? | Yes |
| Deformation observation? | No |
| Measurement method(s): | InSAR, 2005 - 2010 |
| Characteristics of deformation: | Mat Ala has a caldera at its summit. The volcao flanks are cut by numerous north-south trending faults, and fumarolic activity occurs along a fissure southwest of the volcano. Pagli et al. (2014), for the purposes of investigating regional velocity fields, looked at Envisat InSAR data that covered this volcano. They report no deformation. |
