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.
The most common are the following: Basalt and gabbro are usually formed by volcanoes that have an oceanic crust origin, such as Hot Spot volcanoes such as the Hawaiian Islands. Andesitic rocks (Andesite) or Diorite are usually formed by subduction zone (strato-or compositive volcanoes) at convergent boundaries.Rhyolite (formed above ground-extrusive) and granite (intrusive-formed under ground and usually never reaches the surface under eruption conditions).gneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground. Source(s):
