Abstract: Framework of the two major tectonic plates,collision and upwelling of Qingzang Plateau and subduction of Pacific Plate under eastern China control the volcanic activities in China. From the 1990’s,programs started to monitor and to explore the three most dangerous active volcanoes in China. The active volcanoes in China attract more and more programs and researches. During the first decade of 21th century, we have done many explorations on several Quaternary active volcanoes in China. This paper reviews the main progress in geology, chronology, petrology and geochemistry on these Quaternary active volcanoes.

Key words: progresses; active volcano;China
