Type of Volcano

Mt. Pinatubo is one of a chain of composite volcanoes that constitute the Luzon volcanic arc. The arc parallels the west coast of Luzon and reflects eastward dipping subduction along the Manila trench to the west. Mount Pinatubo is one of the highest peaks in west-central Luzon. Mt. Pinatubo is on the Philippines plate which is composed of oceanic crust.
