S P Crater is a cinder cone volcano in the San Francisco volcanic field, 25 miles (40 km) north of Flagstaff, Arizona, United States. [4] It is surrounded by several other cinder cones which are older and more eroded. It is a striking feature on the local landscape, with a well-defined lava flow that extends for 4.3 miles (7 km) to the north. [5]
Cubit [4] Ell; Girah; Guz; Hat'h; Jow; Lachter – a unit of length once used in the mining industry in most of Europe. It was usually used to measure depth, tunnel driving and the size of mining fields; it was also used for contract work. In mining in the German-speaking countries, it was the primary unit of length.
The best-attested of these is the perch, which varied in length from 10 to 25 feet, with the most common value (16 1 ⁄ 2 feet or 5.03 m) remaining in use until the twentieth century. [ 1 ] Later development of the English system continued in 1215 in the Magna Carta. [ 2 ]

As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as either cinders, clinkers, or scoria around the vent to form a cone that often is symmetrical; with slopes between 30 and 40°; and a nearly circular ground plan. [4] Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit. [2]
The Cinders are part of the Black Rock Desert volcanic field. The lava of The Cinders is basalt of late Holocene age. The basalt erupted from the vent at the Ice Springs craters less than 700 years ago (as of 2020). [2] It is the youngest basalt flow in Utah. To the south is a somewhat older lava flow surrounding Tabernacle Hill.
