Honggeertu volcanic field

Honggeertu is a volcanic field in China, in the Nei Mongol Province.

[1] The field is formed by twelve basaltic cinder cones.

[1] Young lava flows from this field look much younger than these of Quaternary volcanoes in the neighbourhood.

[3] The volcanism may originate in the tectonic effects of the movement of the Ordos Block.

Seismic tomography indicates the presence of a low velocity region at the volcano.
