Mount Unzen formed as a result of volcanic activity associated with the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Eurasian Plate. This process caused magma to rise and accumulate, leading to the development of a series of stratovolcanoes over millions of years. The last major eruption occurred in 1991, significantly altering the landscape and demonstrating the ongoing volcanic activity in the region. The complex structure of Mount Unzen includes multiple peaks, each formed through different eruptive phases.
