What kind of volcano is Reventador?

Reventador is classified as a Stratovolcano in Ecuador. Its tectonic setting is Subduction zone / Continental crust (> 25 km).

How is seismicity near Reventador monitored here?

Earthquakes within 50 km of the crater are aggregated from 18 seismic networks and checked against a swarm rule that compares the current rate with this volcano's own 30-day background. Ash advisories come from the VAAC centres that are connected.

Volcano Reventador

Ekvador And Dağları'nın ormanlık doğu yamacında, Quito'nun yaklaşık 90 km doğusunda yer alan dik bir stratovolkan; Amazon havzasına açılan at nalı biçimli bir kalderanın içinden yükselir. Kasım 2002'deki patlamalı püskürmesi Quito'ya kül yağdırıp başkentin havalimanını kapattı; 2008'den beri neredeyse ara vermeden patlamalar, kül bulutları ve yamaçlarından inen lav akıntılarıyla püskürüyor.
