Basalt

Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.

See Armadillo Peak and Basalt

Bourgeaux Creek

Bourgeaux Creek is a tributary of the Little Iskut River and part of the Stikine River watershed in northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada. Armadillo Peak and Bourgeaux Creek are Stikine Country.

British Columbia

British Columbia (commonly abbreviated as BC) is the westernmost province of Canada.

Caldera

A caldera is a large cauldron-like hollow that forms shortly after the emptying of a magma chamber in a volcanic eruption.

See Armadillo Peak and Caldera

Canada

Canada is a country in North America.

Cascade Volcanoes

The Cascade Volcanoes (also known as the Cascade Volcanic Arc or the Cascade Arc) are a number of volcanoes in a volcanic arc in western North America, extending from southwestern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California, a distance of well over.

See Armadillo Peak and Cascade Volcanoes

Cassiar Land District

The Cassiar Land District is a cadastral survey subdivision of the province of British Columbia, Canada, created with rest of those on Mainland British Columbia via the Lands Act of the Colony of British Columbia in 1860.

Central volcano

A central volcano is a type of volcano formed by basalts and silica-rich volcanic rocks. Armadillo Peak and central volcano are central volcanoes.

See Armadillo Peak and Central volcano

Glacier

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving downhill under its own weight.

See Armadillo Peak and Glacier

Ice Peak

Ice Peak is the prominent south peak of Mount Edziza in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Armadillo Peak and Ice Peak are British Columbia Interior geography stubs, calderas of British Columbia, central volcanoes and Two-thousanders of British Columbia.

See Armadillo Peak and Ice Peak

Lava

Lava is molten or partially molten rock (magma) that has been expelled from the interior of a terrestrial planet (such as Earth) or a moon onto its surface.

See Armadillo Peak and Lava

List of Northern Cordilleran volcanoes

The geography of northwestern British Columbia and Yukon, Canada is dominated by volcanoes of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province formed due to continental rifting of the North American Plate.

List of volcanoes in Canada

List of volcanoes in Canada is an incomplete list of volcanoes found in Mainland Canada, in the Canadian islands and in Canadian waters.

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

See Armadillo Peak and Miocene

Mount Edziza

Mount Edziza, sometimes called Edziza Mountain or Edziza Peak, is a stratovolcano in Cassiar Land District of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Armadillo Peak and Mount Edziza are central volcanoes, Two-thousanders of British Columbia and volcanoes of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex.

See Armadillo Peak and Mount Edziza

Mount Edziza volcanic complex

The Mount Edziza volcanic complex (abbreviated MEVC) is a group of volcanoes and associated lava flows in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Armadillo Peak and Mount Edziza volcanic complex are calderas of British Columbia, Neogene British Columbia and Stikine Country.

National Topographic System

The National Topographic System or NTS is the system used by Natural Resources Canada for providing general purpose topographic maps of the country.

Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province

The Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province (NCVP), formerly known as the Stikine Volcanic Belt, is a geologic province defined by the occurrence of Miocene to Holocene volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest of North America.

See Armadillo Peak and Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province

Pleistocene

The Pleistocene (often referred to colloquially as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.

See Armadillo Peak and Pleistocene

Raspberry Pass

Raspberry Pass is a mountain pass in the Tahltan Highland of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. Armadillo Peak and Raspberry Pass are British Columbia Interior geography stubs.

See Armadillo Peak and Raspberry Pass

Tahltan Highland

The Tahltan Highland is an upland area of plateau and relatively lower mountain ranges in British Columbia, Canada, lying east of the Boundary Ranges and south of the Inklin River (the east fork of the Taku River). Armadillo Peak and Tahltan Highland are British Columbia Interior geography stubs and Stikine Country.

Volcanic history of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province

The volcanic history of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province presents a record of volcanic activity in northwestern British Columbia, central Yukon and the U.S. state of easternmost Alaska.

Volcanism of Canada

Volcanic activity is a major part of the geology of Canada and is characterized by many types of volcanic landform, including lava flows, volcanic plateaus, lava domes, cinder cones, stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, submarine volcanoes, calderas, diatremes, and maars, along with less common volcanic forms such as tuyas and subglacial mounds.

See Armadillo Peak and Volcanism of Canada

Volcanism of Western Canada

Volcanism of Western Canada has produced lava flows, lava plateaus, lava domes, cinder cones, stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, greenstone belts, submarine volcanoes, calderas, diatremes and maars, along with examples of more less common volcanic forms such as tuyas and subglacial mounds.
