El relieve de las Islas Canarias

Abstract

Los relieves de las islas volcánicas intraplaca vienen determinados por la proximidad o lejanía de las islas a la fuente magmática (punto caliente fijo en el manto superior) que las crea. En este modelo, las islas volcánicas pasan sucesivamente por 4 etapas evolutivas, cada una de ellas con particularidades volcánicas, geomorfológicas, estratigráficas, petrológicas, etc. bien diferenciadas. Asimismo, sus ritmos de construcción y destrucción, en cualquier caso mucho más veloces que los existentes en los continentes, vienen determinados por esta distribución respecto al punto caliente. Las Islas Canarias responden perfectamente a este modelo. Así, en el presente trabajo se pasa revista a los diferentes estadios evolutivos en los que se encuentran cada una de estas islas y los relieves característicos, volcánicos y erosivos de cada una de ellas.

Intraplate oceanic volcanic island landforms are conditioned by the distance between each island and its magmatic source (a fixed hotspot in the upper mantle). In this model, the islands evolve along 4 successive stages, each with its particular volcanic, geomorphologic, stratigraphic, petrologic, etc. aspects. Both the constructive and destructive rhythms are faster than in continental terrains, and are determined by island distribution with respect to the position of the hotspot. The Canary Islands are an example of this kind of intraplate oceanic islands. In this work the different evolutive stages of these islands are presented, together with a description of their characteristic volcanic and erosive landforms
