Ancochea Soto, EumenioBrandle, J.L.Hernán, F.Huertas Coronel, María José2023-06-202023-06-202006-010213-683Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50433The morphological, structural and volcanological aspects of Branco, an island of the Cape Verde Archipelago, are described and interpreted in this work. The isle consists of a 700 m thick pile of basalt lava flows and scarce pyroclastics crossed by several families of dikes. The structure of the island could correspond to the remaining fragment of a primitive large shield volcano. The main hypothetical emission centre could once be situated between the present islands of Santa Luzia and Branco.spajournal articlehttp://www.sociedadgeologica.es/open access55(665.8)Volcanic edificesOceanic islandsBrancoBarlovento IslandCape VerdePetrología
