Man, you are really getting squirrely. You want to talk about volcanic heat and St. Helens? There is a glacier growing in St. Helens cheek and jowl with that steaming lava dome. So much for your volcanoes melting the glaciers from underneath. Not only that, the volcanoes in Iceland that are under ice emerge only during an active eruption, and between eruptions once again are covered with snow. Actual observations that you don't even have to be a geologist to make falsifies your silly hypothesis.What makes you even think about comparing "hot rocks" under immense pressure to an actual "Mt St Helens" event???? THat's why I lectured you about 'setting up the problem"... THe set-up is --- how many DEGREES OF HEAT at those footers under pressure would be required to start lubricating the footers...
Think "hot springs" rather than full volcanic "eruptions"... If (to be generous) ONE FUCKING DEGREE of GW can do it from 500 FT ABOVE -- what FRACTION OF THAT is required to that in a pressure cooker at the bases?
Dont know why I even respond to you... Must be that you like me so much...
