Resumo

Tephrochronological studies allow us to distinguish tephra layers that were produced by the largest explosive Holocene eruptions of volcanoes in Kamchatka. Voluminous tephra lobes were produced by both caldera-forming and subcaldera-forming eruptions. These layers are the KO (7600–7700 BP) from the Kuril Lake-Il'inskaya caldera; KRM (7700–7800 BP) from Karymsky caldera; KS1 (1700–1800 BP), KS2 (6000 BP), KS3 (6100 BP), KS4 (8700–8800 BP) from the Ksudach volcanic massif; OP (1400–1500 BP) from the Baraniy Amphitheater crater of Opala volcano; KHD (2800 BP) from Khodutka 'maar', and KHG (6900–7000 BP) from Khangar. A number of substantial tephra layers were also erupted from individual volcanoes: SH2 (900 BP), SH3 (1300–1400 BP), and SH5 (2500–2600 BP) from Shiveluch; AV1 (3500 BP), AV2 (4000–4100 BP), AV3 (4500–4600 BP), AV4 (5400–5500 BP), and AV5 (5600 BP) from Avachinsky; BZ (2300 BP) from Bezymianny, KZ (7500–7600 BP) from Kizimen, ZLT (5000 BP) from Zheltovsky, KSSHT (1000–1100 BP) from Shtyubel volcano in Ksudach massif.
