The lava layer is more than 10 meters thick and is made of black basalt. The mantle capture rock distribution site in Jinchon-ri, Baengnyeong-do, Ongjin, was created by peridot rock created tens of kilometers beneath the earth, rising together with lava eruption, and is very important data for studying conditions deep underground.
