Geography
The islands making up Dzózó are generally mountainous and most are volcanically active. The tallest mountains are located on Chayazó where they reach heights of around 3,800 m.

Seismic Activity and Volcanism
Since Dzózó is located on an active plate boundary it experiences frenquent earthquakes and occasionally tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Tsunamis generally affect the eastern areas more heavily.

Climate
Most of Dzózó has a mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The areas in the north are generally hotter than those in the south. Due to the rainshadow cast by the major mountain range on Chayazó and the cold ocean currents in the eastern sea, eastern Chayazó is much more arid than the western part.
