Abstract

Formation of dikes is typical for most of the volcanic centers. Different types of eruptive centers tend to create different patterns of dike distribution by strike. Looking at this distribution, one may suggest, by purely geometrical reasons, where the vent should be (if buried) or should have been (if removed by denudation or new eruptions). However, wide application of this technique raises the issue of interpretation of the results in the context of the geological history of a particular volcano. Impartial and universal interpretation may be possible in a framework of knowledge of eruptive center evolution that can be built by means of the event bush method. Such a framework, however, may have wide application in volcanology extending far from the initial task it has been developed for.
