Nasa JUST ANNOUNCED California Volcano Ready To BLOW! Long Valley Could Trigger New Ice Age

[beautress]

NASA said the Long Valley California Volcano is ready to blow, and said that it could trigger a new ice age.

Oh shit. Is this near the mamoth lakes super volcano?

I'm not sure... I have been trying to deliver the map here, but for some reason, I can't seem to deliver it.
Trying again...

Map of Long Valley Caldera Early winter in Long Valley, 2017​

Long Valley Caldera is a depression in eastern California that is adjacent to Mammoth Mountain.

The caldera is a giant bowl-shaped depression, approximately 20 mi (32 km) wide, surrounded by mountains except to the southeast. The elevation of the bottom of the bowl ranges from 6,500 to 8,500 ft (2,000 to 2,600 m), being higher in the west.[2]

Near the center of the bowl, there is a resurgent dome formed by magmatic uplift. The southeastern slope from the caldera down towards Bishop, California, is filled with the Bishop Tuff, solidified ash that was ejected during the eruption that created the caldera. The Bishop tuff is thousands of feet thick and is cut by the Owens River Gorge, formed during the Pleistocene when the caldera filled with water and overtopped its rim.

The rim of the caldera is formed from pre-existing rock, rising about 3,000 ft (910 m) above the caldera floor.[2] However, the eastern rim is lower, only about 500 ft (150 m).[2]

Mammoth Mountain is a lava dome complex west of the structural rim of the caldera,[3] consisting of about 12 rhyodacite and dacite overlapping domes.[2][4] These domes formed in a long series of eruptions from 110,000 to 57,000 years ago, building a volcano that reaches 11,059 ft (3,371 m) in elevation.[5]

The Mono–Inyo Craters are a 25 mi (40 km)-long volcanic chain situated along a narrow, north–south-trending fissure system extending along the western rim of the caldera from Mammoth Mountain to the north shore of Mono Lake.[6] The Mono-Inyo Craters erupted from 40,000 to 600 years ago, from a magma source separate from the Long Valley Caldera.[7]

The caldera has an extensive hydrothermal system. Casa Diablo Hot Springs at the base of the resurgent dome hosts a geothermal power plant. Hot Creek cuts into part of the resurgent dome and passes through hot springs. The warm water of Hot Creek supports many trout, and is used at the Hot Creek Fish Hatchery.[8] The creek was closed to swimming in 2006 after geothermal activity in the area increased.[8][9] There are a number of other hot springs in the area, some of which are open to bathers.

Geology​

Caldera​

The tectonic causes of the Long Valley volcanism are still largely unexplained and are therefore a matter of much ongoing research. Long Valley is not above a hotspot, such as those which fuel Yellowstone Caldera or the volcanoes of Hawaii; nor is it the result of subduction such as that which produces the volcanism of the Cascades.

cal tech is reporting nothing new is happening there....

Do I have time to do some seasonal shopping?

 

[Thunk]

Double oh shit! Yup...I see mamoth lakes on the left...that's the one.

How certain are they that it's gonna blow? This is top top top priority red friggan alert!

Ski season could be a bit different this winter/spring in California.

Yes, Yellowstone has all those famous steaming pots and geysers, but Long Valley has many...

Lets hope it's a false alarm!

You need stretchy cotton gloves for warmth, covered by waterproof cold-weather gloves
You need cotton socks covered by leather boots with comfort pads inside.
You need a fireproof umbrella.... and a fast front end rather large plow...
Good luck, Thunk.

Are you sure Beautress? I can’t confirm it anywhere else (usually the USGS tracks these). They do have an super cool map though, showing all the active volcanos and their alert levels: Volcano Hazards Program | U.S. Geological Survey

From the information I read today, if it triggers an ice age it's every bit if not more dangerous than Yellowstone's caldera threat that has not been dismissed yet.

*Yawn*

They said this two years ago...

How close is it to the San Andreas Fault?

LMFAO...
