Table 3 The comparative analysis of geological features between AMVF and other existing volcanic Global Geoparks
Volcanic geoparks | Tectonics | Landscape | Lithological characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
AMVF | The extension of the Rea Sea caused by the continental collision between the Arabian and Eurasian plates | Multi-stages lava flows with sparse vegetation | Basalt with rare white volcanos |
Unzen volcanic area UGGP | The collision between oceanic and continental plates | Lava flows with sparse vegetation | Basalt |
Wudalianchi UGGP | The deep subduction and dehydration of the west Pacific stagnant slab | Multi-stages lava flows with vegetation | Basalt |
Leiqiong UGGP | The deep subduction and dehydration of the west Pacific stagnant slab | Multi-stages lava flows with vegetation | Basalt |
