Oregon Is Growing A Mystery Bulge

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the state-on-a-hot-tin-lake dept.

nedwolf writes "LiveScience is reporting that a 100 square mile bulge has been rising in Oregon. First observed from a satellite using a relatively new technology called 'radar interferometry', some believe this to be the formation of a new volcano. I think it's just happy to see me."

    Really? I was sure it was D.C.

    I wonder how possible it will be to get geothermal energy from this if that is the case.

    Not to fan the flames or anything - though I do realize that I am - but your retort was about as witty and original as the GPs Microsoft dig...

    See, it's like dealing with crying baby...if you *always* respond to them, they learn that they can get whatever they want by crying. However, if you ignore them, there is a good chance that they'll either stop or find another way to entertain themselves.

    We obviously don't need that kind of perspective here. I mean, just take a look at that box on TFA page with some images: "The Fury of Volcanoes".

    That's media perspective for you.
