Mount Galunggung is part of the Sunda Arc extending through Sumatra, Java and Bali, which has resulted from the subduction of the Australian plate beneath the Eurasian plate.ike these mountains, Galunggung has a horseshoe-shaped crater indicating a massive landslide, and examination of shattered lava blocks revealed them to be similar to deposits on the other two volcanoes.
Ulawun is a stratovolcano. It is part of an island arc, a curved line of volcanoes that form above a subduction zone. Photograph courtesy of Ben Talai of the Rabaul Observatory. Ulawun has erupted at least 21 times since 1700. Nearly all of the eruptions have been explosive with VEI of 2-3. None of the eruptions have caused fatalities but a few have caused damage. This photo shows an eruption in January 1970.
