... Igneous rock is rock that is formed when molted materials become solid. When geologists analyze an igneous rock, they express the results as a percent of several “oxides.” These include SiO2, Al2O3, or CaO. In one way, this is deceiving. Real oxide minerals are a very small part of most igneous rock ...

Mount Pleasant Caldera
The Mount Pleasant Caldera is a large eroded Late Devonian volcanic caldera complex, located in the northern Appalachian Mountains of southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. It is one of few noticeable pre-Cenozoic calderas, and its formation is associated to a period of crustal thinning that followed the Acadian orogeny in the northern Appalachian Mountains.It sits relatively near to the coastline.
