  • Caribbean Volcanic Rocks: Countries & Notable Volcanoes
    Volcanic rocks are found in many countries of the Caribbean, as the region is home to numerous active and extinct volcanoes. Here are some examples:

    Island arcs with significant volcanic activity:

    * Lesser Antilles:

    * Martinique: Mount Pelée, a stratovolcano known for its devastating eruption in 1902.

    * St. Vincent: La Soufrière, an active stratovolcano that last erupted in 2021.

    * Dominica: Morne Trois Pitons National Park with active geothermal areas and several volcanic peaks.

    * Guadeloupe: La Soufrière, a stratovolcano that last erupted in 1976.

    * Montserrat: Soufrière Hills volcano, which has been erupting since 1995.

    * Greater Antilles:

    * Cuba: Volcanic rocks are found in the western part of the island.

    * Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti): Several extinct volcanoes and volcanic plateaus.

    * Puerto Rico: Volcanic rocks are found in the western part of the island.

    Other islands:

    * Barbados: Volcanic rocks are found in the eastern part of the island.

    * Trinidad and Tobago: Volcanic rocks are found in Tobago, including the Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve.

    It's worth noting that the presence of volcanic rocks doesn't necessarily mean a country has active volcanoes. Some countries, like Barbados, have volcanic rocks but no active volcanic activity.
