Abstract
Geological studies of the Antibes and Marivelles volcanoes of the Luzon island arc, part of the Philippine Mobile Belt, have been carried out. New data on the stratigraphy of volcanic and volcanogenic-sedimentary Pliocene-Quaternary deposits have been obtained, and detailed geological maps of volcanoes have been compiled based on geological mapping and decoding, which differ significantly from those available at the beginning of the research. The history of volcano formation, the dynamics of volcanism during the Pleistocene–Holocene, and the geodynamic features of the volcanic zone are considered.
