Köppen climate type:
Volcanic complex extends over c. 400 km² in the central western sector of Sardinia. The complex was grouped into 4 principal volcanic units by Di Battistini et al. (1990), which overlie a basement of calc-alkaline volcanic rock of Oligocene-Miocene age and Miocene marine limestones and sandstones.
