Köppen climate type:

Am : Tropical monsoon climate

Outcrops of serpentinized ultramafic rocks along forestry roads and river beds in the eastern part of the island.

These rocks form part of a single fractionated plutonic body, consisting mainly of gabbro and dunite with minor tonalite. Rodingites occur rarely.
