The Azores archipelago consists of nine islands that emerge from
the Azores Plateau in the Central Northern Atlantic, situated
within the triple junction of the American, Eurasian and African
lithosphere plates. Subaerial volcanic activity has been well known
since the Pliocene and continues today, with several
well-documented eruptions since the settlement of the islands in
the fifteenth century. The origin of the Azores Plateau has been a
matter of scientific debate and thus this book provides the first
comprehensive overview of geological features in the Azores from
volcanological, geochemical, petrological, paleontological,
structural and hydrological perspectives
