Abstract
The Plinian Millennium Eruption (ME)of the Changbaishan Tianchi volcano in 946 AD generated a total tephra volume of 100 ~172km3 produced by a large scale of MEⅠ eruption and a small scale of MEⅡ eruption This study examines the facies variations in the pyroclastic density currents (PDCs)emplaces that were produced by the ME based on observations of the depositional units,vertical sequences in 53 outcrops Grainsize and composition analysis using standard dry sieving techniques and microscope observations of thin sections in the laboratory provided detailed information for the PDCs emplacement The ME PDCs deposits of the Changbaishan Tianchi volcano can be divided into two facies:canyon filling PDCs facies and fanshaped PDCs facies The canyon filling PDCs facies are mainly developed in the circumference area of the volcanic cone (8 ~ 23km from the crater and slope between 15° to 60°)which are mainly restricted by the volcanic valleys,and can further be divided into massive canyon filling and layer canyon filling subfacies In contrast,fanshaped PDCs facies are mainly distributed in the areas between 23 ~ 45km from the crater which present relatively gentle slope between 5° to 15° In this area,the fanshaped PDCs were not restricted by the topography and generally formed fanshaped emplacements with a large aspect ratio Fanshaped PDCs can also be divided into fan head and fan body subfacies The vertical stacked multiple PDCs units occurred in both layer canyon filling and fan head subfacies,which can be attributed to the separation and proliferation of flow units in the process of PDCs transport According to the maximum distribution range and the thickness of the ME PDCs,in case of another Plinian eruption like ME,the area within at least 45km from the eruption center has a huge risk of PDCs disaster This study is helpful to understand the spatial distribution of the PDCs emplacement in the Changbaishan Tianchi volcano,in order to mitigate the potential disastrous consequences of a future similar volcanic eruption
