2. With the eruption now, will the child be less deadly than the mother?

Krakatoa's eruption 120 odd years ago had world-wide repercussions. I know that this is a point where the plates are sliding--will the eruption now take pressure off the plates for a while?

4. Eruptions release energy, not the cause.

The Volcanoes of the Cascades is a good example. Subduction continues, and eruptions are continuously releasing the energy built up.

The big one we should worry about is Yellowstone!

6. although some scientists think that because of plate tectonics

the Yellowstone super volcano isn't as dangerous now as it was in the past, due to the type of rock the magma chamber is under right now. The latest Nat Geo has a good article on it, very informative:

7. Go to Craters of the Moon National Mounument for history od this super volcano

Millions and many millions of years ago, it was in the southeast corner of Oregon, then Idaho.
It too, does not go away, just blows out a different part of earth's crust as the theory of the
geometry of the dynamics of fluid mass in rotation in free space remains the same.
This theory describes why Hawaii, the red spot on Jupiter, Olympus Mans on Mars, and belts on gas giants are all the same latitude.

Yellowstone is the largest geodetic bulge on the planet.
