Adakite

Adakites are volcanic rocks of intermediate to felsic composition that have geochemical characteristics of magma originally thought to have formed by partial melting of altered basalt that is subducted below volcanic arcs.

See Los Patos and Adakite

Amphibole

Amphibole is a group of inosilicate minerals, forming prism or needlelike crystals, composed of double chain tetrahedra, linked at the vertices and generally containing ions of iron and/or magnesium in their structures.

See Los Patos and Amphibole

Andes

The Andes, Andes Mountains or Andean Mountain Range are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America.

See Los Patos and Andes

Andesite

Andesite is a volcanic rock of intermediate composition.

See Los Patos and Andesite

Argentina

Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a country in the southern half of South America.

See Los Patos and Argentina

Atacama Region

The Atacama Region (Región de Atacama) is one of Chile's 16 first order administrative divisions.

See Los Patos and Atacama Region

Catamarca Province

Catamarca is a province of Argentina, located in the northwest of the country.

See Los Patos and Catamarca Province

Chile

Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a country in western South America.

See Los Patos and Chile

Dacite

Dacite is a volcanic rock formed by rapid solidification of lava that is high in silica and low in alkali metal oxides.

See Los Patos and Dacite

Falso Azufre

Falso Azufre is a complex volcano at the border of Argentina and Chile. Los Patos and Falso Azufre are mountains of Atacama Region, mountains of Catamarca Province and Volcanoes of Atacama Region.

See Los Patos and Falso Azufre

K–Ar dating

Potassium–argon dating, abbreviated K–Ar dating, is a radiometric dating method used in geochronology and archaeology.

See Los Patos and K–Ar dating

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 Los Patos and Lava

Lava dome

In volcanology, a lava dome is a circular, mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano.

See Los Patos and Lava dome

Monte Pissis

Monte Pissis is an extinct volcano on the border of the La Rioja and Catamarca provinces in Argentina, to the east of the Chilean border and about north of Aconcagua. Los Patos and Monte Pissis are Miocene stratovolcanoes, mountains of Catamarca Province, six-thousanders of the Andes and Stratovolcanoes of Argentina.

Nevado Tres Cruces

Nevado Tres Cruces is a massif of volcanic origin in the Andes Mountains on the border of Argentina and Chile. Los Patos and Nevado Tres Cruces are mountains of Argentina, six-thousanders of the Andes and Volcanoes of Atacama Region.

See Los Patos and Nevado Tres Cruces

Ojos del Salado

Nevado Ojos del Salado is a dormant complex volcano in the Andes on the Argentina–Chile border. Los Patos and Ojos del Salado are mountains of Atacama Region, mountains of Catamarca Province, six-thousanders of the Andes, Stratovolcanoes of Argentina, Stratovolcanoes of Chile and Volcanoes of Atacama Region.

See Los Patos and Ojos del Salado

Pyroxene

The pyroxenes (commonly abbreviated Px) are a group of important rock-forming inosilicate minerals found in many igneous and metamorphic rocks.

See Los Patos and Pyroxene

South America

South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere.

See Los Patos and South America

Stratovolcano

A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is a conical volcano built up by many layers (strata) of hardened lava and tephra.

See Los Patos and Stratovolcano

Ultra-prominent peak

An ultra-prominent peak, or ultra for short, is a mountain summit with a topographic prominence of or more; it is also called a P1500.

See Los Patos and Ultra-prominent peak

Volcano

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
