Abstract: 34 Quaternary volcanoes are distributed along a Quaternary NE strike belt in Halaha river and Chaoer river volcanic field. The lava flow, characterized by alkali olivine basalts, cover an area of 400km2. Based on studies on the volcanic field characteristics, in conjunction with geological dating by K-Ar, it is identified that the volcanism occurred in four periods: Early Pleistocene, Middle Pleistocene, Late Pleistocene and Holocene. Basalts of Early Pleistocene, mostly mantled by the later volcanic rocks, are distributed in the margin and valleys of the volcanic field. Middle Pleistocene, the most volcanic active period in this area, witnessed the formation of more than half of Quaternary volcanoes and lava spreading. Moderate volcanism occurred in Late Pleistocene which produced a small amount of volcanic deposits. Volcanic activities are strengthened again in Holocene Period, characterized by strongly explosive explosion, widespread lava flow and well-keeping lava landforms features.
