Index West Vent

West Vent is one of three small shield volcanoes located in the Tuya Volcanic Field of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province in British Columbia, Canada. It is Holocene in age and stands in relief above the surrounding area north of the Nazcha Creek, which comprises the West Tuya lava field.[1]

Tuya volcanic field

The Tuya volcanic field is a volcanic field of tuyas located in far northern British Columbia, Canada, near the border with the Yukon Territory and focused on the area of the Tuya Range, a subrange of the Stikine Ranges of the Cassiar Mountains, though some vents are in the Kawdy Plateau, the northernmost part of the Stikine Plateau. West Vent and tuya volcanic field are northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province.

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 West Vent 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.
