Jolo Group - Geology

Geology

Rock type is predominantly basalt and andesite.

Jolo Group is part of the Sulu Volcanic Arc, one of the two northeastern arms of the Sunda Plate which is in collision with the Philippine Mobile Belt. It is an area of frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Like most volcanos in the former Sultanate of Sulu, the group is little studied scientifically.

All volcanos in the Philippines are part of the Pacific ring of fire.
