What does MAAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A broad, low volcanic crater, usually filled with a lake, formed by an explosive eruption of steam rather than by flowing lava.
A maar forms when rising magma meets underground water and the sudden steam explosion blasts out a wide, shallow crater without building the tall cone of a typical volcano. Many maars later fill with rainwater and become round lakes.
How MAAR is used
Technical term in geology and volcanology, borrowed from German.
- The round lake in the valley fills an old maar left by a steam explosion.
- Geologists mapped several maars across the volcanic field.
- Unlike a cone volcano, a maar leaves almost no raised rim behind.
- The class studied how groundwater and magma together can form a maar.
- Villagers built their farms on the fertile soil ringing the old maar.
