Cone lineaments anyone? Question: How many lines can be created by connecting the dots between 296 select cone center points?
Answer: Total Lines = [n(n-1)]/2 = [296*295]/2 = 43,660 possible line combinations Follow-up Question: Which cone lineaments are due to random chance and which are statistically and geologically significant? Taylor and Templeton, 2007
ES407 RESEARCH QUESTIONS REVISITED Are there morphologic groupings of ~400 cinder cones at Newberry? Can they be quantitatively documented? Are morphologic groupings associated with age and state of erosional degradation? Have cone morphologies been modified by post-emplacement glaciation (USGS, 2010)? Are there spatial alignment patterns? Can they be statistically documented? Do regional stress fields and fault mechanics control the emplacement of cinder cones at Newberry volcano?
CINDER CONE DEGRADATION MODELS: CONE MORPHOLOGY AND EROSION OVER TIME Dan Dziekan and Rick Fletcher
Cinder Cone Degradation Over Time • Primary Cone Shape • Angle of Repose ~33o • Cone Height Decrease • Cone Slope Decrease • Increased Drainage Density Time Valentine et al., 2006
Cima Volanic Field – Dated Cones • Increase Ages • Increase Apron Area • Decrease Slope • Increased Drainage Dohrenwend et al., 1986
