South Korean Volcanoes


Historial South Korea Volcanoes
 South Korean Volcanoes are Hallasan, Seongsan Ilchulbong, Songaksan (Jeju) and Ulleungdo ( Volcanoes_of_South_Korea ). On the Jeju island of  South Korea, Hallasan, a shield volcano, erupted in 1007 A.D. (Volcano Hallasan ). On the eastern coastline of Jeju isle of South Korea, Seongsan Ilchulbong,  a tuff cone volcano, formed approximately 5,000 years ago due to hydrovolcanic eruptions ( Volcano Seongsan Ilchulbong ). On the Jeju island of the South Korea, Songaksan, a parasitic cone volcano, is a basic volcano (Songaksan (Jeju) Volcano ). On the east of the South Korean island or Sea of Japan, Ulleungdo, a stratovolcano, erupted in 7350 BC ( Ulleungdo Volcano  ). South Korea has many volcanoes, but it is mostly on the islands ( Jeju_Volcanic_Island_and_Lava_Tubes ).  If South Korea  does not have active volcanoes, other places such as the border area of the Korea [North-South Korean Volcanoes] (volcanoes_in_Korea ), China or Japan could have some. Below are an images of volcanic islands.


Below is an image of the Korean volcanoes that are active from South to North.
