Millions of years ago two volcanoes - Erciyes and Hasan were active and covered an area of 20000 square kilometers with lava. After volcanoes became extinct water and wind destroyed much of the softer rock (tufa), but upper layer of harder rock (basalt) was less affected by erosion, so it formed "caps" on top of the rocks.</TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/301C2A83-3F3F-4749-8A98-3F74772D11D5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
