Report assesses risk of volcanic eruption across the state.
the USGS said that at least 10 volcanic eruptions have taken place in the last 1,000 years and that “future volcanic eruptions are inevitable.”
According to the USGS, there are eight young volcanic areas that could pose a risk to California, ranging from the border of Oregon to Mexico. The report assesses these volcanoes for their risk, looking at general state of unrest, the type of volcano, the tendency towards violent eruptions and the frequency of eruptions. They also looked at their location in relation to land use, such as population.
Explaining what happens when a volcano erupts, the USGS said there are a series of events that unfold: “Steam blasts, noxious gas emissions, and landslides may occur as magma ascends into the volcanic edifice,” the report said.
