Makushin Volcano rock exposures, at elevation. The pyroclastic flows deposited by the eruptions forming the Caldera have engulfed valleys in the eastern, northeastern, northern, and western valleys of the valley with depths up to 100 m. The northeast border of the volcano is also filled with volcanic lava, which is called the “Lava Ramp” spreading to an area of . A subsidiary cone formed is the Pakushin Cone), on the south. In the east and southeast part of the volcano hot springs and fumaroles have been created, at the summit and in valleys. A valley of the same name stretches to the
Nova Iguaçu Volcano underlain by pyroclastic rock. This rock originated from rock fragments created by a volcanic explosion. The valley is made up of trachyte, another igneous rock with massive texture. The pyroclastic rock was the main justification of the Nova Iguaçu Volcano hypothesis. The existence of a volcano at Nova Iguaçu was proposed by geologists Viktor Carvalho Klein and André Calixto Vieira in the 1980s. Klein and Vieira based their discovery on the presence of pyroclastic rocks (including volcanic bombs) and the existence of a volcanic crater. They believed the pyroclastic rock to be pyroclastic flow deposits, constituting an “extraordinary well-preserved complete
