Forgiven, but “science” uses meters, kilometers, etc for insane reasons.
1.24274238 miles or thereabouts according to the calculator thingy.
4 km down, or 2.48548477 miles, there is another stopping point for the volcanic fluids.
Personally, I’d like to see a 3D representation of the time depth plot.

I completely understand why the sciences have adopted the metric system. It's base 10, and only makes more sense to use as a universal system of measurement.

That said, I find it just a tad offensive that science types insist upon communicating quantitative concepts to American audiences in a system of measure they're mostly unfamiliar with.

Only recently, have I begun to see science shows where the hosts go out of their way to use terms of measurement that are familiar and well understood by American audiences. I feel like reaching out to them and thanking them for that small show of respect.
