About this document
Geology of Easter Island by Yoga Bagus is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes geological research on young submarine volcanoes west of Easter Island in the southeast Pacific. It describes bathymetric surveys that identified two volcanic fields - the Ahu Volcanic Field and the Umu Volcanic Field. Deep-tow camera observations of the Ahu Volcanic Field showed recent pillow lava and sheet flows, with a transition into older ocean crust marked by fault scarps. Samples recovered from the fields will help constrain the magmatic history of the Easter Island hotspot.
