Textures of Volcanites as Indicators of Dangerous Impacts of Environment (on the Example of the Late Cenozoic Volcanics of the Caucasus)

Abstract

Textural features of lava and ignimbrite formations indicate the high role of volatile components in their formation and the rapid release of volatile from the solidifying melt. This creates a high level of danger to the environment. Therefore, it is important to study the textures of the formed volcanites to predict the degree of danger in the event of a possible resumption of magmatic activity.
