Talk:Mount Tabor, Portland, Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Needs more research-- I think "crater" may not be the correct term here? And what is the hill that is higher than the cut-away cone, is that another cone? Or some debris pile? -Chira 04:15, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
The area in question should be referred to as a cross-section exposure of the cinder cone and ejecta.
The whole of Mt. Tabor is technically a cinder cone, but is mostly comprised of quartzite. The Troutdale Gravel Field once covered the area, and this area was not washed away with the surrounding area due to heat and moisture from the volcanic activity. -BridgedToMono 08:03, 27 February 2006
[edit] Consistancy
This article is inconsistant with the article on Pilot Butte regarding extinct volcanoes within the limits of US cities. Here it states that there are at least 3 in Portland alone while in the Pilot Butte article it states that there are only two within all US cites. I don't know which is correct and I would even guess that the number of cities containing some sort of extinct volcanic feature in the US is much much larger. --Burntnickel 16:15, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
