    Annex 2: Additional Copy of Section B “Geological Heritage” of the Application Section B “Geological Heritage” GEOLOGICAL SUMMARY The Azores Archipelago is located in the North Atlantic, on the triple junction between the North American, Eurasian and African-Nubian plates. Volcanic and tectonic activities are well displayed in the geomorphology of the islands; the former includes 26 eruptions since the settlement, in early 15th century. The Azores Islands are formed by 16 major polygenetic volcanoes, most of them silicic and with summit subsidence calderas: nine of them are still active. Moreover, there are about 1750 monogenetic volcanoes in the archipelago, either dispersed along the flanks and inside the summit depression of the polygenetic volcanoes, either belonging to the 11 basaltic fissural volcanic systems located in different islands. These monogenetic centres include domes and coulées, tuff rings, tuff cones, maars, scoria and spatter cones, and eruptive fissures that together with other volcanic, tectonic, sedimentary, littoral and deep sea features may be considered as geosites and can embrace outstanding landscapes. B – Geological Heritage B1. Location of the proposed Geopark The Azores archipelago is located in the Atlantic Ocean, between the latitudes 36º56’ e 39º44’ North and the longitudes 24º47’ and 31º16’ West (Figure 5), and at the distance of 1815 km from the Mainland Portugal. ´ Figure 6 – General geodynamic framework of the Azores archipelago. From a geological point of view, all the Azores islands are of volcanic origin and are oceanic islands that emerged from the surrounding seafloor due to the progressively piled up of submarine volcanic products, a process that should have started about 36 million years (M.y.).

  • Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island Portugal
    Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island Portugal Friday, April 28, 2017 The seas remained lumpy through the night prior to reaching he Azores. During that time, I did feel a “Heart Tug” as we passed about 300 miles north of Funchal, Madeira, the origin of my first pacemaker. Most of you know of that story with us being taken off the ship there for the necessary implantation of my first pace-a-maker. It was built by a French company, that was owned by an Italian company and installed by a Portuguese doctor within hours of our arrival in Funchal. The fact that it could only be read with a French computer led to some interesting sequences during subsequent doctor visits in the USA. Ponta Delgado is on Sao Miquel Island, the largest of the nine islands in the Azores archipelago. These islands have their own microcli- mate and because of its location in the mid Atlantic Ocean, the seawater temperature is very constant. These waters gets contributions from the cold north Atlantic and the Gulf Stream affected southern portions. Hence it is a real cafeteria for fish of all sorts and whaling was a big part of its economy until Portugal outlawed it in 1974. But fishing persists as does a whale watching tourism attraction as eve- ry type of whale migrates through these waters. The atmospheric temperature is also very mild. Homes do not have heating, maybe one fireplace at most. The islands are volcanic in origin and most of the islands have numerous lakes—really craters remaining after volcanic reactions.

  • Roteiro Dias De Melo
    1 UMA LEITURA DE DIAS DE MELO José DIAS DE MELO (1925-2008) é um dos poucos escritores açorianos da atualidade que têm projeção nacional, não só pela qualidade e pela quantidade dos livros que escreveu e publicou, mas também pela regularidade com que o fez; e, sobretudo, porque escolheu temas que só ele soube desenvolver, tocando o mais profundo e o mais universal do ser humano mas partindo da realidade açoriana. Dias de Melo é, por isso, um escritor estruturante no contexto da produção cultural açoriana, e nesta medida fundamental para quem quiser compreender a literatura que hoje é feita por escritores açorianos. A obra literária de Dias de Melo foi construída de acordo com dois parâmetros principais: o pri- meiro tem a ver com as nossas gentes e as suas vivências culturais, que tão bem documentam a relação de vida e de morte, de presença e de ausência, de amor e de ódio — que durante séculos o açoriano foi estabelecendo com o mar, seu companheiro de todos os dias; o segundo rege-se pela necessidade de o escritor refletir sobre a sua condição de homem e de escritor, projetando nos seus livros as suas próprias experiências e saberes da escrita: quando fala de baleeiros, de emigrantes ou de escritores, Dias de Melo baseia-se no que aprendeu com a vida — usando uma admirável técnica narrativa, uma frescura de linguagem que não faz concessões à facilidade e ao regionalismo folclóricos, uma singela autenticidade dos tipos humanos que re- cria, assim atualizando os ecos vivos daquele passado telúrico, situado muito para além da co- lonização das ilhas, onde, como afiançava Nemésio, se projeta espiritualmente a vida açoriana.
