Oan Isles was formed millions of years ago from movement in the Urth's tectonic plates particularly the Pacific and Yasteria Major tectonic plates. The mineral composition of the island reflects this process. Most of the islands are geologically similar due to the uniformity of the process by which they were formed. Most of the rock is igneous rock. Over millions of years, undersea volcanoes spewed forth millions of tonnes of lava that hardened to form the islands. Kōa has generally fertile soil. Various minerals are present in the ground, particularly [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldspar feldspars], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz quartz], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mica micas], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibole amphibole] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivine olivine].
