- Solomon Islands Volcanoes
The Solomon Islands, located on the tectonically active boundary between the Australian and Pacific Plates, possess a chain of volcanoes primarily characterized as stratovolcanoes or composite cones. This volcanic activity stems from ongoing subduction processes, generating magmas with intermediate to felsic compositions. Prominent among these is Kavachi, a highly active submarine volcano known for its frequent phreatomagmatic eruptions. Savo Island, though currently quiescent, displays its volcanic origins through its distinct morphology and the presence of geothermal features.
