Anahim Hotspot - Future and Present

Future and Present

Volcanism appears to have ceased in the western parts of the Anahim Volcanic Belt, but if that is correct, future eruptive activity can be expected in the Nazko Cone area and east of it. Future eruptions from the Anahim hotspot are most likely in the creation of basaltic cinder cones, but eruptions of less mafic magma, typical of the eastern portions of the Anahim Volcanic Belt, cannot be ruled out.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or present:

    The ellipse is as aimless as that,
    Stretching invisibly into the future so as to reappear
    In our present. Its flexing is its account,
    Return to the point of no return.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    To appreciate present conditions
    collate them with those of antiquity.
    Basil Bunting (1900–1985)
