Chile just voted out a socialist government. It would be a nice place if it weren’t for the seismic activity.
Oops, it's "Let it SNOW." Oh well, you get my point.
I don’t know
Where I’m gonna go
When the volcano blow ...
Much lower Andes mountains?
The Andes is the longest continuous mountain range on Earth.
Yosemite goes from about 3000 feet to 13,000 feet.
The AVERAGE elevation in the Andes is 13,000 feet.
It should be under mecca.
Yosemite got to its current condition through erosion. That’s the eventual fate of all mountain ranges. Same thing for the Rockies. The Appalachian were once a massive range as high in some estimates as the Himalayas are now.
“...oh, the magma below is frightful...”

Quite right!
In fact being from the east coast (upstate NY’er) I actually mentioned that fact about the Appalachians to my next door neighbor.
And the way the Hudson river in NY was formed by collision, a collision of a mini-continent New England into New York.
Wow, a cosmic gas cloud heading towards our galaxy and now a new lava dome in the Andes. Just more to worry about.
Yeah there are two main mountain builders, the collision of two plates like was the case with the Appalachians and Himalayas or the uplift and volcanics of a subduction zone like the Cascades and Andes.
I cant read or say Lake titcaca without a smile on my face How are you as of late Blam ?
The geo-thermal stuff is over in Yellowstone.
In the meantime as parts of the planet’s crust bulge out like this place it must be offset by other parts of the planet sinking inward. Anyone looking at the history/forecasts on southern Louisiana and southern Florida will recognize the risks involved in the changing geology of the planet.
better magma than smegma I always say.
Don’t build on a hydrated limestone or a delta. They have major problems without a rifting or other plate adjustment. But then you well know the danger of all three.
Do they play soccer in this dome?
