Identification of Volcanic Facies
Aplications of Volcanic Facies
McPhie (1993): Lateral and/or vertical
changes in physical aspects of rock bodies
deposited within a specific interval of
geologic time.
Schieferdecker (1959): the sum of the
lithological and paleontological characters
exhibit by a deposit at a particular point.
Bronto (2006): sejumlah ciri litologi batuan
gunung api dalam kesamaan waktu pada
suatu lokasi tertentu.
Volcanic Facies are usually named according
to:
Closeness to source: central, proximal,
medial and distal.
Depositionalenvironment:
subaerial, shallow subaqueous, subglacial,
etc.
Withindeposit type:
pyroclastic flow facies, hyalotuff facies,
dome facies, etc.
Volcanic facies on subaerial stratovolcano
divided into Bogie and McKenzie (1998):
Central

Physical Volcanology
Structural Geology
Petrology and Geochemistry
Volcanic Summit = Central
Volcanic Upper Slope = Proximal
Volcanic Foot Slope = Medial
Volcanic Plain = Distal
Semeru
Muria
Bongkok
Central
Siliceous Dome, Vent breccia, agglomerate, intrusive,
etc.
Proximal
Lava, tuff breccia, lapili tuff, pyroclastic flows, etc
Medial
Lahar and tuff
Distal
Lacustrine siltstone, conglomerate, interbeded
sandstone and siltstone (volcaniclastic and
volcanogenic sedimentary rocks)
Physical volcanology also known as
sedimentology analysis.

Measuring strike/dip and slope also known as
initial dips also can used to identification the
volcanic facies.
Central = 35o – 40o
Proximal = 32o – 35o
Medial = 11 – 32o
Distal = 0o – 11o
Refers to the viewpoint of volcanology,
intrusive and extrusive rocks are an
integral process that occurs in
location and relatively the same age.
