...when did they last erupt?
| Quote: | | The conventional geologic story renders the East Coast of North America as a so-called passive margin, an area free of volcanoes and earthquakes due to its position within the fractured plates that make up the surface of the globe. Volcanoes are most common at sites where one such plate slips under another, such as the U.S. West Coast or Central America, according to this theory.
But the new research suggests the East Coast should be thought of as more of a passive-aggressive margin. |

Interesting, I felt that earthquake in Ottawa, Ontario the locals did not think so at first as we were on the Canadian Shield an old stable piece of crust. There are rocks on the coast of Maine that do not look all so old.
