The tuff cone has height about 180 meters and 600 meters for the crater in diameter. For the dip, it has over 45 degrees and 90 meters of the sea level. The cone exploded in wet and sticky condition which made water absorbed in volcanic ventilation so that it created a various depositional feature.
