The Karaca Dag/ Karacadağ shield volcano covers around 10,000 km2 in Turkey, with the more recent N-S plateau of scoria cones and lava flows down the center of this January 2020 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 63 km across). A younger group of lava flows erupted from vents on the eastern flank, appearing darker with the vents visible.

Ringkasan geologi

Karaca Dag (also known as Karacalidag) is a broad basaltic shield volcano in SE Turkey about 100 km N of the Syrian border. The volcano lies on the Arabian foreland about 150 km SW of the boundary with the Anatolian Plate and has been active since the Pliocene along a N-S-trending set of fissures and craters associated with the nearby Akcakale graben. Potassium-Argon dates of mid-Pleistocene age have been obtained from lava flows, but Landsat imagery suggests that some lava flows, particularly those on the E flank, may perhaps be only a few thousand years old (Pearce et al., 1990).
