“Morro do Castelo Branco” is a trachytic dome, mantled by pumice deposits from the Caldeira stratovolcano. The dome is heavily affected by sea erosion (e.g. high, steep and plunging sea cliffs) and its uppermost part shows whitish weathered horizons of clay deposits, thus the name “branco” (white).
