what are the causes

@Hightrain12 would los angeles be ok from this eruption?
-
do scientists have a good idea about why there is so much crustal stretching b/w the rockies and the sierras? it seems counter-intuitive what is happening between two large mtn ranges in the middle of a continental plate.

Do you think San Diego, California's southmost city would be ok?

@Hightrain12 Depends on the size of the eruption and direction of prevailing winds. I think Las Vegas would be in more trouble than San Diego.

@Hightrain12 Probably, but it really depends on the intensity of the eruption and prevailing winds. Some ash would probably fall.

How at risk might the San Fransisco bay area, or the state capital (Sacramento), be be from a Long Valley eruption?

@markdzima It would be awful, although I expect that prevailing winds would carry most of the ash east.

You should look up Mt Uturuncu in Bolivia (I think). That's my bet for the next very large eruption. They are tracking a large volume of magma growth, which may have potential to erupt. There was an interesting paper by Steve Sparks on it, and I know they are studying it in detail at Bristol University.

@Webofscience I've heard about that. And I may have mentioned it in Part 5 of this series. I can't recall for sure because I did this series over a year ago and haven't watched it lately.
