Volcanoes of Solomon Islands | John Seach
The Solomon Islands are located at a subduction zone at the junction of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates. Ancient lava flows from Ontong Java hotspot covered one percent of the earth's surface. The geochemistry of recent volcanism in the New Georgia Group is tholeiitic, which is similar to mid-ocean ridges rather than island arcs.
