The geology of Vietnam is divided into five structural blocks : Northeast (NE), Northwest (NW), Truongson, Kon Tum and Nambo. The NE block is a part of the South China plate , in which strata and igneous rocks have been found dating from the Early Paleozoic to the Quaternary .
The volcano has known to be both hydrothermally and eruptively active in recent history, the most active in between its neighboring volcanoes. [15] According to depth differences in West Mata's flanks, it was pointed out that West Mata had an eruption which lasted from 1996 to 2008 at a depth of 2,750 m (9,022 ft).
