Croscat
Croscat volcano is an Strombolian volcano. There we saw how was the volcano eruption took place about 11.500 years ago. The first phase of the eruption was Strombolian or explosive and the volcanic materials were ashes. The ashes went far away from the volcano. The second phase was Strombolian or explosive and the volcanic materials were Lapilly. These materials fell close the volcano and slowly was formed the volcanic cone. The third phase was Hawaian or Explosive eruption. The volcanic materials was lava flow. Lava flow fell on the volcano and the volcano cone crumbles and finally the form of the crater was horseshoe.
