Volcano-sedimentary sequence

A volcano-sedimentary sequence is a stratigraphic sequence derived from the alternation and combination of volcanic and sedimentary events. The volcanic material of these sequences may include lava flows and tephra or reworked volcanic material, for example basaltic sand or pebbles.

Areas surrounding volcanic arcs are common settings for volcano-sedimentary sequences.
