The Coastal Volcanic Belt (CVB) is a major Late Silurian volcanic belt extending from Massachusetts, United States into southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. It is one of the largest bimodal volcanic provinces in world, ranging from basalts to rhyolites.
Famous quotes containing the words volcanic and/or belt:
“Each of us, even the lowliest and most insignificant among us, was uprooted from his innermost existence by the almost constant volcanic upheavals visited upon our European soil and, as one of countless human beings, I can’t claim any special place for myself except that, as an Austrian, a Jew, writer, humanist and pacifist, I have always been precisely in those places where the effects of the thrusts were most violent.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Now John wore clothing of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 3:4.
