The eruptions which lasted until about 500.000 years ago created a thick layer of volcanic soil of 350 meters. Then suddenclimatic changes caused some thin deep holes in this soft volcanic soil. After volcanic activity ended rain water and flood flew into these holes and carved them bigger by draining the soft rock towards Kizilirmak River- the longest river of Turkey. To this phenomenon of erosion wind and melted snow were added to form beautiful valleys and fairy chimneys of Cappadocia.
