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 planet’s survival has become so uncertain that any effort, any thought that presupposes an assured future amounts to a mad gamble.”
    —Elias Canetti (b. 1905)

    “If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green.... If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don’t deserve to survive, and probably won’t.”
    —William Faulkner (1897–1962)
