Geology

Mont Brome might be the deep extension of a vastly eroded ancient volcanic complex, which was probably active about 125 million years ago.{{cite web|url=http://www.oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/05stepstones/background/geologic_history/geologic_history.html|title=A Hundred-Million Year History of the Corner Rise and New England Seamounts|first=Dan|last=Scheirer|publisher=NOAA|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060503173640/http://www.oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/05stepstones/background/geologic_history/geologic_history.html |archive-date=2006-05-03|access-date=2007-08-01}} The mountain was created when the North American Plate moved westward over the New England hotspot, along with other mountains of the Monteregian Hills that form part of the vast Great Meteor hotspot track.
