A Mysterious Blob of Hot Rock Is Building Up Under America's Northeast
A vast mass of hot rock is welling up underneath Vermont and extending into other subterranean regions below New England, new research shows.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At first glance, New England doesn’t seem like a hotbed of geologic activity. The region doesn’t have any rumbling volcanoes. Earthquakes are almost unheard of. And its mountains are mere hills compared to ranges like the Rockies or the Sierra Nevada in the western U.S.
But don’t underestimate what’s going on beneath the surface: It turns out this idyllic pocket of the northeastern U.S. may sit atop a rising mass of warm rock—a smaller, slower version of the magma pockets under well-known volcanic zones.
The findings, recently published in the journal Geology, suggest that New England may not be so immune to abrupt geological change
Huge Bubble of Hot Rock May Be Rising Under New England
