The Solomon Islands consist of over 900 islands widely distributed in the Western Pacific. The bulk of the land area comprises seven large volcanic islands which form a double chain running from northwest to southeast and converging on the island of Makira (San Cristobal). These islands are on the western margin of the Pacific plate and all are of volcanic origin. There is still volcanic activity in a number of locations, notably on Tinakula in the Santa Cruz Islands and on the submarine volcano of Kavachi, south of New Georgia.
