Mount Amorong is the only one of a cluster of small trachyandesitic lava domes and diatremes at the northern end of the Luzon Central Plain, along the Eastern Bataan volcanic lineament, that displays solfataric activity (Wolfe, 1982, pers. comm.). A date of about 1.14 million years (K-Ar) was obtained. Yumul et al. (1999) collectively called Amorong, Mount Balungao, and Mount Cuyapo the Paniqui Plugs, and noted that nearby Mount Bangcay was a tuff cone.
