Geology
Torúmalana is a volcanic summit, initially formed by the convergent interaction of the Arithemlan plate (now part of the Mederano plate) with the Jajexan and Parthenopean plates. The resulting subduction zone, as the Jajexan plate sank under the Arithemlan plate, created rising magma plumes within the mantle that formed numerous volcanos across northern Trellin. Torúmalana is a stratovolcano that may be dormant or extinct. It is not thought to have erupted in the past ten thousand years, although its name means 'mountain of thunder' and may preserve an ancient tradition of eruptivity.
