GLOSSARY OF VOLCANIC TERMS
A type of hydroclastic volcano, generally < 50m high, defined by craters with low depth/width ratios that sit at or above the elevation of the adjacent land surface. The rims around tuff rings are composed of juvenile and accidental clasts and are deposited in beds with dips < 25° (Vespermann and Schminke, 2000, p. 684).
