Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive geomorphological investigation of Jabal Al-Malasa area located in Medina, Saudi Arabia. And analyze the topographic features, landform characteristics, and underlying geological processes shaping the morphology of this area.  Jabal Al-Malasa volcanic area   covers an area of approximately 168.5 km² in Medina - Saudi Arabia. This region is recognized as the youngest volcanic field in the country and is situated within a potential National geopark area (Harrat Rahat). The fieldwork conducted in this area has revealed a diverse spectrum of volcanic landforms such as lava sheets, cones and Lava tubes, often associated with subsequent lava flow discharge that can develop various surfaces and appearances. Additionally, the area exhibits a variety of eruptive lava types, such as pahoehoe and A'ā lava flows. This study provides a volcanic geomorphological classification using remote sensing and GIS data, which can be utilized by a wide range of researchers, including educational institutions and geo-tourism entities. The findings of this fieldwork study contribute to the understanding of the region's volcanic landscape and offer valuable resources for both educational and geo-touristic purposes. The comprehensive data and classification system generated can facilitate effective access and relation with this unique natural museum situated in the Lava sheet environment.
