Mount Ragang, also called Mount Piapayungan and Blue Mountain by the local people, is an active stratovolcano on Mindanao island in the Philippines.With an elevation of 2,815 metres (9,236 ft), it is the seventh highest mountain in the Philippines and the highest point in the Lanao del Sur province.
The volcanic island is dotted with cinder cones, tuff cones, pyroclastic cones, maars and crater lakes. The highest point in the island is Mount Tumatangas [2] with an elevation of 811 metres (2,661 ft) asl. Bud Dajo has an elevation of 620 metres (2,030 ft) asl. Guimba, Matanding, and Sungal, are some other volcanic cones near Bud Dajo.
Andesite and basaltic andesite are the most abundant volcanic rock in island arc which is indicative of the calc-alkaline magmas. Some Island arcs have distributed volcanic series as can be seen in the Japanese island arc system where the volcanic rocks change from tholeiite—calc-alkaline—alkaline with increasing distance from the trench.

It is the highest peak of the Philippines. The southwest peak has the highest elevation and is topped by a 200 m (656 ft) wide crater that contains a small lake. [9] The volcanic history of Mount Apo is poorly known but eruptions have produced andesitic-to-dacitic lava. A line of solfataras extend from the southeast flank at an elevation of ...
