== Geology == Tinakula sits at the northern end of the New Hebrides island arc. This is a line of volcanic islands stretching between the Solomons and Vanuatu, formed by subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate beneath the Pacific Plate. The cone of Tinakula rises straight up from the seafloor, with a crater at the top. The volcano is composed mainly of andesite and basaltic andesite.
