The youthful constructional volcanic topography and limited paleomagnetic data indicate a very recent age for the volcanic activity. This marginal plate appears to be of oceanic character in the vicinity of Tonga, and the Tongan volcanoes thus provide an opportunity to examine the nature of magmas of a typical circum‐Pacific orogenic zone located within an oceanic crustal regime.
