Description

Wide view of volcaniclasics from one of the underwater eruptions that formed Black Point volcano about 13,000 years ago. The horizontal nature of the beds, rather than dipping away from a central vent, indicate dispersal of the tephra by water before deposition. The strong layering and relatively well sorted nature of the beds support this notion as well.
