Solimana[1][2] is a volcanic massif in the Andes of Peru, about 6,093 metres (19,990 ft) high.[3] It is situated in the Arequipa Region, Condesuyos Province, in the districts of Chichas and Salamanca, and in the La Unión Province, in the districts of Cotahuasi and Toro.[4] Solimana lies southeast of the volcanoes Sara Sara and Auquihuato and northwest of Coropuna volcano.

Geomorphology and geography

Regional

Solimana is part of the Peruvian segment of the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes. The Central Volcanic Zone in this segment has both generated large composite volcanoes which rise 2–3 kilometres (1.2–1.9 mi) above their basement and monogenetic volcanoes and volcanic fields. Aside from Solimana, these volcanoes include from northwest to southeast Sara Sara, Solimana itself, Coropuna, Andagua volcanic field, Huambo volcanic field, Ampato, Sabancaya, Cerro Nicholson, Chachani, Misti, Ubinas, Huaynaputina, Ticsani and Tutupaka, some of which have been active during historical time.[5]

Local

Neighbouring canyons have begun to incise the edifice.[6]

Geology

The Nazca Plate subducts beneath the South America Plate at a rate of 61 ± 3 millimetres per year (2.40 ± 0.12 in/year); it has slowed down since the Oligocene. This subduction process is responsible for the formation of the Andes mountains in the region.[7]

Composition

The geochemistry of volcanoes of the Central Volcanic Zone typically displays strong evidence of crustal contamination, which is attributed to the thick crust that has developed in this region.[7]
