Abstract
The vent morphology, stratigraphy and eruptive phenomena of six basaltic tuff-rings and five tuff-cones produced in a variety of geological environments have been studied in detail. Comparison of the data shows that the main difference between the ring and cone occurrences is due to the wetter condition of emplacement of the tephra of the cones. A model is derived and figured, relating the type of volcanic edifice produced by hydromagmatic volcanism to the ratio of water to magma interacting at the vent.-M.S.
