    Most of the Earth’s natural hazards are linked to geohazards due to the abiotic nature providing the basis for biological features to exist. From this point of view geohazards are part of geoheritage as they represent geological and geomorphological features slow or rapid that shaping the planet face and imprint its results in its geological and geomorphological record. This synergy between geoheritage and geohazards naturally exists where it has just recently been utilized for various dedicated programs to use its information to develop society resilient against geohazards. Geohazards acting along diverse geological processes leaving behind characteristic geological features preserved in the geological record millions of years and its features are undeniable and clearly recognizable among other geological objects. Geohazards and its geoheritage can provide great opportunity to develop resilience against natural hazards and their associated risks through education, community development, and scientific outreach. In this chapter we explore the opportunity geoheritage can provide in the case of understanding the volcanic phenomena and volcanic hazards the dispersed volcanic fields of western Saudi Arabia can offer.
