Lava flows from vents at the cinder cones cover much of the coastal flats and form the irregular shorelline.The At-Tabâb tuff cone rises from the shoreline and forms the highest point of the volcanic field. It contains a large, 1.5 wide crater, inside which a cinder cone and associated lava flows are located. Another tuff cone to the east contains a lake.
