Introduction

There is a belt-shaped region in Inner Mongolia formed by volcanic eruptions. The range of this area starts from the volcanic group of Nuomin River on the eastern slope of the northern Daxing'an Mountains and extends to the volcanic group of Ulan Hada in Chaha'er Right Wing Rear Banner, spanning nearly 1,000 kilometers. Among them, the Ulan Hada volcanic group was not recognized by the domestic and foreign volcano academic circles until 2012. The characteristic of this volcanic belt is its relatively young age, with the time of entering the active period about 120,000 years ago. Most volcanoes erupted between 40,000 and 60,000 years ago, but there are some in this area that erupted in the Holocene, and even some volcanoes that erupted 2,000 years ago.
