Sector collapse

A sector collapse is the collapse of a portion of a volcano due to a phreatic eruption, an earthquake, or the intervention of new magma.^[1] Occurring on many volcanoes,^[2] sector collapses are generally one of the most hazardous volcanic events,^[3] and will often create lateral blasts.^[4]

Documented Events[]

A sector collapse was documented during a Mt. St. Helens eruption.^[5] It occurred due to an earthquake that was a result of the eruption.

In Italy, the Sciara del Fuoco is a scar left by a sector collapse that happened over 5000 years ago.^[6] The volcano involved was the Stromboli volcano.

A sector collapse was formed during an eruption of a volcano in Nicaragua.^[7]
