        A volcanic field is an area of the Earth's crust that is prone to localized volcanic activity. They usually contain 10 to 100 volcanoes, such as cinder cones and are usually in clusters. Lava flows may also occur. They may occur as a monogenetic volcanic field or a polygenetic volcanic field.
SP Crater in the San Francisco volcanic field is a
 
cinder cone with a basalt lava flow that
 extends for 4 miles (6 km)
