Jabal al-Druze

[citation needed] In Syria, most Druze reside in the As-Suwayda Governorate, which encompasses almost all of Jabal al-Druze.

[2] Due to low birth and high emigration rates, Christians proportion in As-Suwayda had declined.

The alkaline volcanic field consists of a group of 118 basaltic volcanoes active from the lower-Pleistocene to the Holocene (2.6 million years ago to present).

The large SW Plateau depression is filled by basaltic lava flows from volcanoes aligned in a NW-SE direction.

[8] In Arabic, the word "tell" means "mound" or "hill", but in Jabal al-Druze it rather refers to a volcanic cone.
