The basaltic Karapinar volcanic field is comprised of five cinder cones, two lava fields, and several explosion craters and maars located along a SW-NE line on the Konya-Eregli plain SW of the Karacadag stratovolcano. The maars evolved from hyaloclastite tuff rings to maars to cinder cones, reflecting varying lake water levels during eruptions. Meke Dagi is one of the largest cinder cones in Central Anatolia.
