ancient volcano are partially preserved in the southern and eastern flanks of the island (which retain altitudes between 500 and 700 m (1,600 and 2,300 ft) above sea level). In addition to marine erosion, the island is constantly eroded by strong northeast and western winds. In the south, secondary cinder cones, such as Coroinha, Morro da Fonte, Grotão da Castelhana and Coroa do Pico, are visibly preserved with little erosion, and responsible for many basaltic flows that formed the southern lava fajã (10–60 m (30–200 ft) above sea level). The last eruption took place about 80-100,000 years ago in the vicinity of Vila Nova do Corvo.
