Do you know where your volcanoes are?

I thought it might be noteworthy to know where our volcanoes are located in the United States. The western third of the United States has a goodly amount.  I live in Oklahoma, and the nearest one to me is in New Mexico, but let's not forget about our friendly Yellowstone right in the middle of the United States.  I'm not too worried, but I thought it would be of interest to you to see a map of volcano locations, and a link to determine when they last erupted.  What fun.

 You can go to United States Geological Site for more information on the joys of earthquake and volcano monitoring.  I find it interesting.

"This graphic shows the seismic network of Yellowstone National Park. Small black squares and associated letter codes are one-component stations, large dots are three-component stations, and stars are broadband stations. The FLWY station is maintained by the USGS/ANSS. Thick black line is the boundary of the Yellowstone Caldera. Thin black lines are roads. Gray outline is park boundary. Red regions are thermal areas.

To provide Yellowstone National Park (YNP) and its surrounding communities with a modern, comprehensive system for volcano and earthquake monitoring, the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) has developed a monitoring plan for the period 2006-2015. Such a plan is needed so that YVO can provide timely information during seismic, volcanic, and hydrothermal crises and can anticipate hazardous events before they occur."
