In this study, the anthropogenic (human‐induced) degradation of the volcanic relief which is as oldas the Plio‐Quaternary is analysed in the Cappadocia Volcanic Province. Pyroclastic cones withlava flow, lava domes, pyroclastic cones (ash, pumice and slag), maar (eruption craters) are amongthe destroyed elements of the volcanic relief. In our opinion, the destruction of volcanic landformsis an anthropogenic process, which is carried on involuntarily, and an important current issue waiting to be resolved.The human‐induced destruction of volcanic landforms, each of which is witnessto a certain geologic time, is intensified in certain sections In the Cappadocia Volcanic Province.Among these sections there are so young volcanic reliefs between Karapınar (Konya)‐Karacadağ(1375 m), Karacadağ‐Hasan Dağı, Hasan Mountain (3268 m) north and Acıgöl (Nevşehir)‐Göllüdağ‐Melendiz Mountains (2963 m). According to initial findings significant damage was ascertainedin 42 areas including 14 lava domes, 2 maars, 22 pyroclastic cone dominant with lava flows or ashand slag, and 4 lava flows. In these topographies which are almost turned into sand quarries andgravel pits, morphology of some cones have already been degraded or they are on the brink ofdegradation. In this context, other surrounding volcano cones are also under threat. It is a must topreserve the volcanic landforms which are recognized as natural protected area and geological/geomorphological heritage by many developed countries, which have a scientific significance and ascientific document quality in the keeping track of natural processes, and which shed light on thevolcanic development of the near geological time.
