A German scientist stayed in Bohol in 1968 to conduct a study on the formation of the hills and theorized that the hills were irregularities at some area of the ocean bed caused by a series of submarine volcanic eruptions during the Tertiary era, some 50 to 60 million years ago. The island which later came to be known as Bohol was at that time completely submerged in the ocean. Millions of years later, during the recent Holocene era, the island of Bohol appeared above sea level and the irregularities farmed during the Tertiary upheaval have remained as conical hills in the interior plain of the islandImage type: OriginalMedia format: With prints
