A large area of basaltic cinder cones and lava flows lies within about 5 km of the SE shore of Lake Ziway, and also forms islands along its E shore. About 80 vents were formed along the East Ziway segment of the Wonji Fault Belt. The youngest lava flows have been unaffected by the latest tectonic faulting along the Ethiopian Rift.
