Ḥarrat Rahāṭ[1] (Arabic: حَرَّة رَهَاط) is a volcanic lava field in the Hejazi region of Saudi Arabia. In 1256 CE, a 0.5 km3 (0.12 cu mi) lava flow erupted from six aligned scoria cones, and traveled 23 km (14 mi) to within 4 km (2.5 mi) of the Islamic holy city of Medina; this was its last eruption. There were earlier eruptions, such as in 641 CE, which made finger-like flows to the east of the 1256 CE flow.[2] It is the biggest lava field in Saudi Arabia.[3] Nearby is Al Wahbah crater.

The highest confirmed mountains in each country are indicated with 'HP', and those with the highest peak are indicated with 'HP', bearing in mind that in the UAE, the highest mountain and the mountain with the highest peak are different. Outcrops are indicated with 'OC', and outliers with 'OL', and anticlines with 'AC'. Volcanoes are indicated with 'V', volcanic craters with 'VC', lava fields with 'LF', and volcanic fields with 'VF'.

Das Vulkanfeld Harrat Rahat (arabisch حرة رهاط, DMG Ḥarrat Rahāṭ) liegt nahe der Stadt Medina und ist das größte Lavafeld Saudi-Arabiens. Die letzte Eruption fand im Jahr 1256 statt, dabei brach aus sechs verbundenen Schlackenkegeln 0,5 Kubik-Kilometer Lava aus und floss 23 km weit bis 4 km vor die Stadt Medina.[1] Der Wahbah-Krater befindet sich in der Nähe.- [en] Harrat Rahat

Le Harrat Rahat (حَرَّة رَهَاط) est un champ volcanique situé en Arabie saoudite, dans les provinces de Médine et La Mecque. La région compte plus de 500 volcans, et a été la zone volcanique la plus active de la péninsule arabique au cours des dix derniers millions d'années[1]. L'éruption avérée la plus récente a eu lieu en 1256[2].Текст в блоке "Читать" взят с сайта "Википедия" и доступен по лицензии Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike; в отдельных случаях могут действовать дополнительные условия.
