Look at the dark blue outlined area.

Hello! I've used this subreddit before and was really happy by how polite and kind everyone was. I had a question: I saw an article about how in Yellowstone national park next year, they are going to start doing construction for park and that includes using explosives to blast away rock. (Linked the article)

Do you think the blasting could effect Yellowstone volcano in any way? Like the shock of explosives effecting the magma chambers or something? A seperate article I read suggested that although it's inactive and could be for a very long time, a change in the magma chambers could cause it reactivate and well.

We spent the day on Stromboli this week and had a great time. Volcano was smoking all day!

The black sand was weirdly different but fun to spend time at the beach on.

Hello Everyone! I research in University about the topic „Schools in vulcano area“ in the university of Cologne, Germany. For that I need contact to English speaking (ideally even German speaking) schools in vulcano-area. Can anyone of you help me with that?

Greetings, Paul from Cologne!

What do you think of the idea that volcanic hotspots originate with asteroid or meteor strikes? Here's a paper making the case that the Yellowstone Hotspot may have originated from an impact in northeastern California.

On the other hand, could shifting plate boundaries have also played a role? Wiki notes one theory that the Hawaiian hotspot started out as the former Pacific-Kula spreading ridge, which was eventually subducted by the Aleutian Trench. This may have caused the locus of melt extraction to migrate "off the ridge and into the plate interior". Going back to Yellowstone, that hotspot also seems to have originated suspiciously close to the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

Maybe this more properly belongs in r/geology , but I couldn't find the right flair and I don't know if you have to be member to post there.

Hi all,

Maybe planning on visiting Villarrica soon.

Has anyone here done that? Id accept some tips

I have been looking for an answer but can't find any.

The volcano releases so much co2 and other gasses. Since co2 stays low to the ground and a lot of houses are lower around the solfatara, I can't understand why there are not more problems with it getting into houses. Where does all that gas go?

I’m on page 37 and really enjoying it, but I have a question: on about page four, trees at a botanical garden in Hawaii start dying because they’re burning up. I’m assuming this is foreshadowing the big eruption. Is this a real thing? I never heard about it in school. Tia!

Ive seen lost of potencial volcanoes that can erupt on continental Europe but which is more likely to erupt?

Apologies if this post isn't within the full rules, but I wanted to leave this here because I wanted to make something as close to accurate as possible (and I figure someone in here has to be an expert). Years ago I came to the realization that I've really wanted to write a script about Mt. St. Helens. The more I read about it, the more I realized that there were clear heroes & villains. A week ago when I saw the post about the script, I lit a fire under my butt and finally finished this.

That being said, I still had to be creative - for instance I combined the characters groups that were likely never affiliated in reality like that of Roald Reitan & Venus Dergan with Danny Balch's friend group (to add some more character dynamics). Yes I know they didn't know each other, but it saved pages to conglomerate it; I still told their survival stories as honest as possible. The same goes for Reid Blackburn and Robert Landsburg - decided it would be interesting to give them a fictional competitive edge (I doubt they knew each other in real life, but I can imagine them acting like such). Likewise, I consolidated all the loggers as Weyerhaeuser employees even though I am aware that Jim Scymanky didn't work for that company.

Furthermore, the timeline is not 100% accurate, such as introduce Barry Voight slightly earlier than he arrived. The content of Johnston's speeches will also be slightly out of order / exaggerated (see #3 below).

That being said, what I'm wondering is:

1. Are there any significant events related to the eruption that I missed? If not significant are there any other small character moments that are worthy of being featured: for instance, Harry Truman was deputized before the eruption so that could stay in the red zone.

2. Are there any survivors / victims / people related to the eruption that would benefit from being including? I wanted to include Dan Miller but I don't know enough about him or his role. Same with Kathy Anderson and Robert Roger, but I felt they sort of slowed the story down.

3. David Johnston-related things. Was his girlfriend named Carole? What was he like as a character? I know that he had stage fright and I had to give some character arc so it's about him overcoming his fear of public speaking so that the red zone can be established. I need to know specific details about Johnston when he first took on St. Helens. Did he move to Washington with his girlfriend? Did she stay behind? I have her staying behind initially but I don't know if that's important or not.

4. I'm not a scientist, nor have I been in the USGS offices anywhere, so if anything is laughably wrong, please let me know. What were scientists doing in the Vancouver USGS station the day it erupted? I just imagine that they would all be frenzied.

5. If there's anything that is unredeemable and just absolutely wrong about the story, I will correct that too. For instance, it is my assumption that Rocky Crandell and Donal Mullineaux were the heads of the Vancouver USGS but I don't know for sure.

This is mostly based from Steve Olson's book Eruption plus years of interest in the subject.

Also, thank you to u/louwala_clough for the feedback when writing it initially.
