Question

Is the name related to the Quechua "uthurunku" ("jaguar")? Stephen MUFC (talk) 06:28, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Pre-FAC prep work

Section for discussing any improvement needed before this can be sent to FAC. I've checked Google Scholar for recent sources and nothing there requires an update. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

• The lead mentions twice that it has two summits.
• The article name is Uturuncu, but the lead uses Uturunku.
• This is awkward-- recast to avoid lost hyphen? a volume of 85 cubic kilometres (20 cu mi)[13]-50 cubic kilometres (12 cu mi).[26] Not sure what it says. Between 50 and 85 ?
• Formed ... formed ... need to vary wording: Uturuncu has formed about 100 kilometres (62 mi) east of the main volcanic front in the Western Cordillera, in a terrain formed by various ...

  All done to here? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:34, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

• Vary wording ... correlates, correlates ... years old and correlates to a glacial advance in the Altiplano that has been correlated to the maximum growth of the former
• Does moisture need a wikilink? Lake Tauca may have been a source of moisture for Uturuncu.
• After 14,000 the glacier ... ??? About 14,000 years ago ???
• MOS:ALLCAPS "RESERVA NACIONAL DE FAUNA ANDINA EDUARDO AVAROA".
• YIKES, needs splitting. Uturuncu was active during the Pleistocene,[1] with a lower unit emplaced during the lower and middle Pleistocene (890,000–549,000 years ago[87]) and which makes up most of the peripheral sectors of the volcano and an upper unit of middle to upper Pleistocene age (427,000–271,000 years ago[87]) which makes up its central sector[19] and is less extensive.[88]
• SAME ... Several rocks have been dated through argon-argon dating and have yielded ages ranging from 1,050,000 ± 5,000 to 250,000 ± 5,000 years ago;[26] among these dates are 271,000 ± 26,000 years ago for rocks in the summit area,[19] 250,000 ± 5,000 for the youngest dated lava flow found just south-southeast of the summit[22] and 544,000 years for the Lomo Escapa lava flow, while the aligned lava domes have been dated to be between 549,000 ± 3,000 and 1,041,000 ± 12,000 years old.[89]
• Same, too much information in one sentence (and the hyphen is lost, should switch to prose): ... Volcanic eruptions at Uturuncu were effusive[54] and involved the emission of voluminous lava flows (0.1–10 cubic kilometres (0.024–2.399 cu mi))[63] between pauses lasting between 50,000 and 180,000 years, with a mean eruption rate of less than 0.00006 cubic kilometres per year (1.4×10−5 cu mi/a)[90]-0.00027 cubic kilometres per year (6.5×10−5 cu mi/a), much less than other rhyolitic volcanoes.
• Same, Between 1992 and 2006, the uplift amounted to 1–2 centimetres per year (0.39–0.79 in/year) in an area 70 kilometres (43 mi) wide[1] but with variations over time[87] such as a temporary acceleration after a 1998 earthquake,[102] a gradual slowdown[103] either continuing[104] or followed by an acceleration to about 9 millimetres per year (0.35 in/year) in the few years before 2017, along with seasonal variations.[103]

  There isn't a good replacement as far as I can tell. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:20, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

• No definition for the word subsidence.
• On a global scale ?? but on global scale it is unusual both for its long duration and its spatial extent,
• triggering ... which triggered ... vary wording ... with further triggering possible by large earthquakes such as the 2010 Maule earthquake[99] which triggered an
• Too much information in one sentence, and open question needs an as of date ... Whether the ongoing unrest at Uturuncu is part of a benign process of pluton growth or the prelude of a new eruption or even a caldera-forming eruption is an open question; a large caldera-forming eruption could have catastrophic, globe-spanning consequences[91] as demonstrated by the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia and the 1600 eruption of Huaynaputina in Peru;[45] this possibility has resulted in international media attention.[
• What is pluton growth ? benign process of pluton growth ...

... in general, I think a pass through the entire article to check for jargon and wikilinking is needed. That's it for me, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:04, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
