Datoon Volcanic Mountainsbreaklayer

Datoon volcano region is comprised of two major breaklayers: the Goldmountain, and the Kunfeet breaklayer.

 Goldmountain breaklayer and the Kunfeet breaklayer slants east-westward and goes across the Goldmountain praries, through Little Buddha mountain, Baytow, and finally entering the western border of the Taipei region, which evenly divides the Datoon volcanic regions in half.

 圖片取自[台灣土地故事]一書These two major breaklayers go from Northeast to Southwest, and it's mostly because during their original formation, the Phillipine blocks were at the Southeastern side of Taiwan, and thus when it squeezes our geological block,making our breaklayer to go the opposite direction, Northeastern. These breaklayers are the main reasons why we see the distribution of the Datoon Volcanic Mountain hotspring in this region.
