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 present hour is always wealthiest when it is poorer than the future ones, as that is the pleasantest site which affords the pleasantest prospects.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Oh! what a poor thing is human life in its best enjoyments!—subjected to imaginary evils when it has no real ones to disturb it! and that can be made as effectually unhappy by its apprehensions of remote contingencies as if it was struggling with the pains of a present distress!
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
