41°28′N 113°00′E / 41.47°N 113°E [1] Honggeertu is a volcanic field in China, in the Nei Mongol Province. [1]
The field is formed by twelve basaltic cinder cones. [1] Some of the cones formed on a fault. [2] It may be of Holocene age. [1] Young lava flows from this field look much younger than these of Quaternary volcanoes in the neighbourhood. [3] The volcanism may originate in the tectonic effects of the movement of the Ordos Block. Seismic tomography indicates the presence of a low velocity region at the volcano. [4]
