www.newmexicopb... - Look in any direction in New Mexico and you can find mountains that have blown their tops, rare maar volcanoes, cinder cones, lava flows and our very own super volcanoes. New Mexicos volcanoes have been decorating New Mexicos landscape for millions of years. In this COLORES! we see and learn about breathtaking examples of volcanism that span the state. But volcanoes have created more than stunning terrain. Over time, they planted the seeds of civilization and shaped the identity of New Mexico and its people. In this documentary we meet Native Americans who share their views of New Mexicos volcanoes and we meet the experts who help us better understand these geological marvels. Experts also consider the big question, when will these sleeping monsters come to life again? Welcome to the volcano state.

What I find fascinating is early humans didn't waste their time going to a 9-5 job, or other such trivia. They were tied to the land and built their homes out of caves and farmed. I bet they didn't need therapists!

Former Philmont staffer here. A great story from several decades ago was when a couple off duty staffers rolled several tires into the crater of Capulan volcano and lit them on fire just before sunrise so that everyone awoke thinking there was an eruption.

@katharinecarmichael7759 Жыл бұрын

I have heard of that. I think it was foolish. Yet! Our Volcanoes, likely a few I believe should go off. Wake people up! Truly. I have said it, & Said it, yet most don't care, cause they are so foolish. Black Mountain and others here are ACTIVE! No such thing as "dead".. That is Not True. Yet I have proof in many ways. Yet others Ignore. When Black Mountain goes off. I won't tell. Since Everyone can't wake up & listen! They wanna lie.

While eruptions in NM are unlikely to happen in my lifetime, I surely wish that the mantle and crust were was not as thin as one geologist claimed they are here on the local NM news. He said there's something like 120 volcanic plugs in NM and that quakes as far away as Japan could one day trigger eruptions here. But another recent report from Univ NM said the chances for an eruption in the Belen Socorro area are ~ 1% in 100 years and 10% in 1000 years. So I guess I'm okay-except that the same study says that NM is "planning" for the 7.0 quake they expect will hit ABQ in the not too distant future. And Los Lunas was on my short list for retirement, at least if it's economy improves and diversifies in the next few years.

This may or may not have been good PR on her part but a scientist from Yellowstone Lab wrote an article on the Yellowstone super volcano in Scientific American or Smithsonian mag saying that it, Mt. St. Helen and Mt. Rainer are all high threat category beasts. But that "high threat" is their own rating system and that the likelihood of them blowing is in ~ 100,000. So I figure worst case, one out of the three may blow in ~ 33,000 years. Actually, I'm more worried about driving in NM and suddenly getting swallowed by a sinkhole. Most of NM is too much salt and gypsum in the subsoil. Search [ sinkhole Rio Rancho ], ditto Las Cruces
