Roads and fields show signs of human habitation.<br /><br />Geologically, Rapa Nui is made of three coalesced volcanoes hotspot volcanoes, formed by the Easter hotspot. The rocks here are generally iron-rich, primarily hawaiite and basalts, but rhyolites are present in small volumes (https://dx.doi.org/10.1007%2FBF00385783).<br /><br />Rano Raraku is the source of tuff (consolidated volcanic ash) from which most of the island's famous Moai (head statues) were carved (http://www.eisp.org/120/).
