Background
The maars of Qal'eh Hasan Ali were erupted through layers of desert alluvium, granodioritic rocks, and older Eocene volcanics. They are located in an area several hundred km away from the closest Quaternary volcanoes. The maars produced tephritic pyroclastic deposits.(GVP / Smithsonian Institution)
