This volcanic field was originally considered to be a field of impact craters. The volcanism both of Qal'eh Hasan Ali and of several neighbouring volcanic centres is associated with a local fault zone. The general area of Iran has been affected by the collision of Arabia with Eurasia, resulting in volcanic activity.
