This week's 5 Minute Volcano heads to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean as I explore Terceira in the Azores. Although in some ways, the Azores (and Terceira) are like Hawai'i, they are also quite different thanks to the complicated tectonic setting that combines a hotspot, a divergent boundary and a triple junction where three plates meet.

Some sources for this week's episode:

• Global Volcanism Program page for Terceira.
• Earth Magazine look at the Azores.
• Volcano World: Tectonics of the Azores.
• Casas and others (2018) paper on the 1998-2001 activity at Terceira.
• Pimental and others (2021) paper on the explosive eruptions of Terceira.
• News article on the lowering of the alert status at Terceira in 2024.

This week's music was Portugal. The Man's "Feel It Still".
