Honggeertu

41°28′N 113°00′E / 41.47°N 113°E / 41.47; 113^[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]
