A volcanic activity occurred.There were violent eruptions,which ejected acidic lava which later cooled and solidified.The lava piled in layers around the vent.The lava did not flow very far from the vent since it was viscous.Over the years,eruption ceased and the volcano became extinct. Erosion set is exposing the plug and producing the jugged peak of the mountain.This led to formation of steep sided volcano known as Mt. Kenya.
