Abstract

The island of S.Miguel is part of the Azores, an archipelago composed of nine volcanic islands situated between the european and american continents. Aligned in a general WNW -ESE trend, between latitudes 37$^{\circ}$ -40$^{\circ}$ N and longitude 25$^{\circ}$ -31$^{\circ}$ W, the Azores islands show a very special geotectonic setting, at the triple junction of the Eurasian, African and North American lithospheric plates.(omitted)
