The Philippines is situated along a well-defined belt of volcanoes called the Circum-Pacific Rim of Fire where the process of volcanism and plate convergence resulted in the formation of abundant and important metallic mineral deposits of gold, copper, iron, chromite, nickel, cobalt and platinum.

Philippine Geology is a verified and fortified research. The Philippine Sierra Madre Mountains are made the uplifting of the Philippine and Eurasian Plates. The Cordillera Mountains are created by the sliding of the Philippine Plate under the Eurasian Plate. Mount Apo, a dormant volcano, is Philippines' highest peak and is a flat-peaked volcano that is very similar to Mount Fuji in Japan.
