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]
Yojana – a Vedic measure of distance used in ancient India. Its value was about 10 km (6.2 mi), although the exact value is disputed among scholars (between 8 and 13 km or 5 and 8 mi) Its value was about 10 km (6.2 mi), although the exact value is disputed among scholars (between 8 and 13 km or 5 and 8 mi)
The volcano was the site of the Mount Pisgah Volcanic Cinders Mine, a cinder quarry that produced pumice for commercial use, the primary end product being railroad ballast for the Santa Fe Railroad. The mountain is currently owned by Can-Cal Resources Limited, a Canadian company specializing in exploration of precious minerals in California. [4 ...
A more complex variation on the Fill-In is the "diagramless" Fill-In, where the grid is initially empty. [8] Another variation is having no words listed at all, but gathering them from a known group of words, such as the fifty American states.

[3] circle of latitude See parallel. cirque. Also corrie or cwm. An amphitheatre-shaped valley surrounded on three or more sides by steep, cliff-like slopes and formed by glacial or ...
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.
Hot cinders underneath freshly deposited ash in recently burned areas may sometimes generate numerous dust devils. The lighter weight and the darker color of the ash may create dust devils that are visible hundreds of feet into the air. Ash devils form similar to dust devils and are often seen on unstable days in burn scar areas of recent fires.
Lava Butte is a cinder cone in central Oregon, United States, just west of U.S. Route 97 between the towns of Bend, and Sunriver in Deschutes County.It is part of a system of small cinder cones on the northwest flank of Newberry Volcano, a massive shield volcano which rises to the southeast.
