Mauritius was formed primarily through volcanic activity, arising from hotspots in the Earth's mantle. Approximately 8-10 million years ago, volcanic eruptions created the island, which is part of the Mascarene Islands in the Indian ocean. Over time, erosion and sedimentation shaped its landscape, contributing to the development of its diverse ecosystems. Additionally, the island's geological history includes the influence of tectonic plate movements.
