Look at this story about Oregon - - - -> link. A new volcano might be forming in Oregon. They think it might be a new volcano vent but, there is activity along the whole coast. We might be seeing the labor pains of a super gigantic volcano that will alter all of the alignment of the fault lines in the top picture.
If the researchers are correct, " if an eruption were to take place, it would produce a small cinder cone, then the eruption would be localized within the Three Sisters wilderness area and would not pose a great hazard to the public in neighboring towns," Riddick said. "However, this can change if more magma accumulates at depth, which is why continual monitoring of this area is crucial."
Riddick and her colleague David Schmidt detailed their findings online Dec. 17 in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems.
