The release of magma along the Great Rift Valley began volcanic eruptions between 2 and 3 million years ago. The three separate summits of Kilimanjaro represent the overlapping releases that formed the mountain. Two of the peaks are considered extinct, and the third has been dormant for about 360,000 years.
They are large volcanic craters that form by two different methods: 1) an explosive volcanic eruption; or, 2) collapse of surface rock into an empty magma chamber.
