Monogenetic volcanic fields are areas of scattered volcanic vents; so that roughly speaking a monogenetic field is a type of volcano.
Monogenetic fields can only occur where the magma supply to the volcano is very low. None of these vents however are close enough or large enough to be able to form a single volcano, The singular vents only erupt once and can be any type of volcano. Some types of volcanoes include cinder cones, lava shields, tuff cones and maars.
