The modern landscape of Cappadocia began to take shape in the Alpine era of mountain building. The Pontic Mountains (northern Turkey) and the Ta**us (southern Turkey) appeared. Between these mountain systems with the help of ladder magmatism with the formation of the Anatolian Plateau. Plane species of magma are even closer to the area above sea level, which provides enhanced exogenous processes. In planar magmatism, however, cells were formed - stratovolcanoes Erjias, Gasandag, Melenism. The results of the work of all volcanoes - stratovolcanoes and planar magmatism - were the appearance of volcanic tuff and basalt mediators [3].
