Geology
Mont Yamaska is composed of igneous rock and hornfels. The igneous rock includes much gabbro, essexite, a titanium-rich clinopyroxenite called yamaskite, and a small area of nepheline syenite.[2] Mont Yamaska might be the deep extension of a vastly eroded ancient volcanic complex, which was probably active about 125 million years ago.[3] The mountain was created when the North American Plate moved westward over the New England hotspot,[3] along with the other mountains of the Monteregian Hills that form part of the Great Meteor hotspot track.
