Seulawah Agam is an extensive forested stratovolcano located at the northwestern tip of Sumatra. Several names have been given to the mountain: Seulawaih Agam, Seulawain Agam, Solawa Agam, Solawaik Agam, Selawadjanten and Goldberg.

The volcano was constructed during the Pleistocene-Holocene age. The mountain has a large caldera, called Lam Teuba. A smaller 8×6 km caldera is within the Lam Teuba caldera. The volcano contains several hills: sedimentary hills, old volcano hills, a volcanic cone and peneplain area. The volcanic cone was formed by lava and pyroclastic flows.cite web|title=Seulawah Agam Volcano, Indonesia|publisher=John Seach, an Australian volcanologist|url=http://www.volcano.com.au/seulawah.htm|accessdate=2006-11-30] There are three craters. The Tanah Cempago crater is easily recognized, while the other two are covered with vegetations.
