Papôa Volcanic Breccia

The Papôa Volcanic Breccia is a type of rock present in Papôa in which whitish calcareous layers from the Lower Jurassic can be observed. Soon after, other orange or gray-green rocks, of volcanic nature, appear. These contain abundant chunks of other rocks. This shows that a volcano existed here, being an aggregate of volcanic material resulting from the deposition of material expelled by a volcano. The Papôa Volcanic Breccia is located on the peninsula of Peniche and is a unique vestige in the region.

A Brecha Vulcânica da Papôa é um tipo de rocha presente na Papôa na qual se observam camadas calcárias esbranquiçadas, do Jurássico Inferior. Logo após, aparecem outras rochas alaranjadas ou cinza-esverdeadas, de natureza vulcânica. Estas contêm abundantes pedaços de outras rochas. Esta mostra que aqui existiu um vulcão, sendo um agregado de material vulcânico resultante da deposição de material expelido por um vulcão. A Brecha Vulcânica da Papôa situa-se na península de Peniche e é um vestígio único na região.
