Recent dredge hauls have revealed that those submarine volcanoes located close to Izu Peninsula belong to the high-Al and/or high alkali basalts while those further south are either low alkali tholeiites or calk-alaki rhyolites associated with high-Al basalts. Submarine volcanoes dose to Izu Peninsula are contemporaneous with a group of basaltic (and minor rhyolitic) monogenetic volcanic centers clustered in the central Izu Peninsula, which were active during the last 100,000 years.
