Wizard Island
Plate boundary
Wizard Island is not associated with a plate boundary because it was formed after the former (not working anymore) Mt. Mazama's original eruption.
Eruptions
Wizard Island is a cinder-cone, explosive, volcano. It has only erupted once, in 4,600 B.C., but it was massive!
Effects on the environment
Wizard Island is now a part of Crater Lake which was formed after the former Mt. Mazama erupted approximately 7,700 years ago. After the eruption, one of the environmental effects is the creation of Crater Lake, which is a home to many birds, fish, trees, the Crater Lake National Park, and many other beautiful environmetal features.
Fun facts!
a long-lasting memory
Following the violent eruption, which left a hole about 4,000 feet deep, a series of smaller eruptions started to form. In one of those eruptions, Wizard Island was formed and rises over 2,700 feet above the lowest point on the caldera (a special type of volcanic crater) floor and the deepest point in the lake.
- The oldest trees on the island are about 800 years old.
- Wizard Island is considered to be the most spectacular cinder cone volcano in the world because of its amazing formation.
- Wizard Island was built on a platform of andesite (dark, volcanic rock) lava.
- Some parts of the island were formed from underwater volcanoes erupting.
- Wizard Island is 767 feet above the surface of the lake and 1 mile across. The area at the base is about 3.02 squre miles. The volume of the cone is 0.6 cubic miles, and it covers about 1 square mile of the lake's surface.
