It has a volume of 18 cubic kilometres (4.3 cubic miles), making it the fifth most voluminous geological formation of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. The Edziza Formation is also the youngest geological formation of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex involving more than 10 cubic kilometres (2.4 cubic miles) of volcanic material. 774:. The collapse may have been caused by a violent, climactic eruption, effusion of the Kakiddi lava flows or the outpouring of voluminous lava during dome formation. Prior to collapse, the summit of Mount Edziza was at least 610 metres (2,000 feet) higher than its current elevation of 2,786 metres (9,140 feet). 946:
was the source of at least two separate lobes of lava that flowed onto the adjacent plateau surface. The northwesterly lobe partially encircles Tsekone Ridge and borders as well as overlies breccia of Pillow Ridge.

Basalt flows of the roughly one million-year-old Ice Peak Formation are overlain by the Edziza Formation which overlaps with the northern flank of Ice Peak. The 0.9 million-year-old Pillow Ridge Formation is sparsely overlain by the Edziza Formation, but much larger portions of the Edziza Formation

The lower assemblage encloses up to 120-metre-long (390-foot) and 15-metre-thick (49-foot) lavas that occur as relatively small, crudely-jointed, irregular masses and discontinuous lenses. Extremely coarse breccias occur in the western proximity and contain massive, up to 7.5-metre-wide (25-foot)
