From: Towards reconstruction of the lost Late Bronze Age intra-caldera island of Santorini, Greece
Lava extrusion vs time at Santorini’s central lava dome islands in post-Cape Riva times (post-Minoan volumes are from Nomikou et al.19. Green quadrangle marks the proposed Pre-Kameni, gray quadrangles the Post-Minoan eruptions. Log scale has been used because the inter-eruption durations and lava extrusion values have several order of magnitude differences. Since the exponent in the equation is close to 1, the relationship between lava extrusion and elapsed time is quasi-linear. Insets: sample photograph (right) and thin section image (left, in PPL) of the main constituent of the Pre-Kameni island, the black glassy andesite (BGA).
