Karasu Rift

(Volcanic field 486 m / 1594 ft)

[mehr]

Kargapazari Dagi

(Unknown 2089 m / 6854 ft)

[mehr]

Kars

(Schichtvulkan ca. 3000 m)

The Kars Plateau is a broad calc-alkaline to alkaline volcanic field of largely Pliocene to mid-Pleistocene age in the NE corner of Turkey (Innocenti et al., 1982; Yilmaz, 1990). [mehr]

Kenger

(Schlackenkegel 745 m)

The Kenger volcano belongs to the fault system that created also the Kula cinder cones in western Turkey. [mehr]

Kisir Dagi

[mehr]

Koruhüyüğü

(cinder cones 433 m)

A serial of cinder cones in the "graben" structure in the area north of Kirikhan town in Turkey. [mehr]

Kula

(cinder cones, maars 740 m)

The Kula volcanic field in western Turkey near the city Selendi had the last eruptions probably more than 10.000 years ago. [mehr]

Nemrut Dagi

(caldera 2948 m)

The summit of Nemrut Dagi is truncated by a 5 x 9 km caldera near Lake Van in eastern Turkey. A lake that partially fills the western side of the caldera is constrained by post-caldera eruptions that produced glassy obsidian lava flows from domes on the eastern caldera floor. A series of scoria cones and lava domes were erupted along N-S-trending fissures on the northern flank. Ash layers in Lake Van document numerous Holocene eruptions from Nemrut Dagi.

Nemrut Dağ (or Nemrut Dagi) volcano is the westernmost of a group of volcanoes near Lake Van in eastern Anatolia, and the only one that has erupted in historical time. It contains a 9 x 5 km caldera partially filled on its western side by a caldera lake. [mehr]
