	Harrat Hutaymah, Saudi Arabia (Page 1 of 2)
		Volcanic vents of the Harrat Hutaymah volcanic province.
		"Harrat" is the possessive form of the Arabic word "harrat", which means "stony area volcanic country or lava field." Numerous harrats are aligned along the west margin of the Saudi Arabian Plate subparallel to the Red Sea.
		Xenoliths from the mantle are unusually common at Harrat Hutaymah.

		Holocene volcanic eruptions are associated with the volcanic plateaus of Harrat Khaybar, Harrat Rahat, and Harrat Kishb in west-central Saudi Arabia.
		The potential for future eruptions in Harrats Khaybar, Rahat and Kishb is significant and the associated risk is highest near the holy city of Al Madinah.
		A volcanic eruption was recorded at the northern end of Harrat Rahat near Al Madinah, Saudi Arabia in 1256 A.D. About one half cubic-kilometer of alkali olivine basalt was extruded from six vents along a 2.25 km-long fissure at the north end of the Harrat Rahat lava field.

	LAVA FIELDS OF SAUDI ARABIA
		Between Makkah and Madinah is the 20,000km2 Harrat Rahat lava-field with 644 scoria cones, 36 shield volcanoes and 24 domes.
		ROOBOL: Harrat Kishb is one of the smaller lava fields in Saudi Arabia.
		Harrat Kishb is very well known in Arabia because of its abundance of peridiotite nodules carried in the dominant rock type, which is basanite, a very primitive basalt.

	Medina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the death of Ali Karam Allahu wajha hul kareem, the fourth caliph, Mu'awiyya transferred the capital to Damascus and the importance of Medina dwindled and became more of a religious site than a political site.
		In 1256 Medina was threatened by lava flow from the last eruption of Harrat Rahat.
		In 1924 Medina, which had been in Ottoman hands for centuries, fell to Ibn Saud, who later became the first King of Saudi Arabia.

		Their distribution is related to the intense brittle tectonics (fracturing/faulting) associated with the opening of the Red Sea, which began at the end of the Oligocene or beginning of the Miocene (about 25 Ma), when the Arabian and African continental blocks were forced apart.
		The harrats of Saudi Arabia, located between 50 and 500 km east of the Red Sea coast (except for the Al Birk volcanic field on the Red Sea coastal plain), show common volcanologic, petrographic, and structural features.
		The last eruption was from Harrat Rahat in A.D. 1256, when the lava flow stopped short of the gates of Al Madinah.

		Moufti explains that Harrat Rahat is twice the area of Lebanon.
		By counting the number of vents and eruptions that have occurred on northern Harrat Rahat, volcanologists estimate that, during the past 4500 years, there have been 13 major eruptions—one every 346 years, on average.
		The result was a series of detailed (1:250,000) geological maps and explanatory notes, as well as papers in the international scientific literature covering three of the largest Cenozoic lava fields: Harrat Rahat, Harrat Kashib and the coalesced harraat of Khaybar, Ithnayn and Kura.

		The Harrat 'Uwayrid, located in NW Saudi Arabia along the Bedouin pilgrim route to Syria, contains young basaltic scoria and tuff cones and associated lava fields.
		The massive alkali olivine basaltic lava field reaches a height of 1920 m; it extends about 125 km in a NW-SE direction and is contiguous with the Harrat ar Rahat volcanic field to the NW.
		The Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Neumann van Pandang, 1963a) indicated that an eruption in about 640 AD at Harrat 'Uwayrid may have been from either Hala-'l-Bedr or Hala-'l-'Ischia, or both.

	Basement tectonics of Saudi Arabia as related to oil field structures, by H. Stewart Edgell
		This E-W extension, due to the initial updoming of the Arabo-Nubian Shield, stretched the brittle crystalline, Precambrian rocks, causing a series of subparallel N-S horsts and grabens and initiated the 'old grain of Arabia', now widely known as the Arabian Trend.
		Repeated, periodic uplifts of the Arabian Shield have continued this faulting and basement uplift until historic times, as shown by the N-S trending Late Tertiary-Quaternary lava fields (Harrat) and cinder cones along fractures in the shield, with eruption as recently as 1250 AD in the Harrat Rahat, south of Al Madinah.
		This uparching of the shield probably also led to the formation of less pronounced, E-W fault trends, which can be seen clearly on the running difference gravity map of northern onshore Saudi Arabia (Barnes 1987).
