The Volcano Inside a Major City; Pilot Butte
Within a major U.S. city is a volcano that rises nearly 500 feet above the surrounding landscape. This occurs within the city of Bend, where the extinct volcano known as Pilot Butte stands above the numerous suburbs. Pilot Butte is a spectacular basaltic andesite cinder cone which formed 188,000 years ago in a manner which this video will describe.

Note: Pilot Butte only erupted once long ago, and since it is extinct will never erupt again.

The Ancient Supermassive Eruption in Oregon; The Crooked River Caldera
Просмотров 23 тыс.2 часа назад
Within central Oregon is the remnants of a supermassive eruption, the first of many which would originate from the Yellowstone Hotspot. This eruption devastated the landscape for as much as 105 miles in every direction, and deposited hundreds of feet thick of ash. This is the story of the 29.56 million year old Crooked River Caldera, whose rim today encompasses the towns of Prineville, Terrebon...

We Have a Supervolcano Problem, Again

I now believe that the term "supervolcano" is misleading and outdated, and instead...

    In 1980 the ash from the volcano was carried into idaho, montana in some areas it fell up to 2 inches on the ground. "The ash was abrasive enough to damage aircraft engines, windshields, and navigational aids, which led to airport closures in Idaho, Montana, and Washington". I met a guy from idaho that said they put ash into tiny bottles and made them into necklaces to sell as keepsakes. - Potlatch idaho. 🍋 🌋

    Pffft!

I am glad I moved about 20km from the city centre in the mid-seventies. 😀
