They\u2019ve been landing on the guest article that Marc Alifanz <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=7630\">wrote about Portland, Oregon<\/a>, which I think is probably the correct answer to the readers&#8217; question. I\u2019ve tried to find the source. Often it\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartalk.com\/radio\/puzzler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Car Talk Puzzler<\/a> but not this time. Maybe it\u2019s kids taking the easy way out on a homework assignment. I don&#8217;t know. I never did find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My investigation proved fruitless but my dogged pursuit led to a geo-oddity that was previously unknown to me: Jackson, Mississippi sits atop an extinct volcano (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/NAEUrjW7uy1SM8jJ9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kenlund\/3932742776\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3490\/3932742776_be96098f4f_b.jpg\" alt=\"Liberty Bell Replica, Mississippi State Capitol, Jackson, Mississippi.

The terrain seems pretty gentle. It&#8217;s devoid of anything that might resemble the classic conical shape of a stratovolcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, but it\u2019s down there alright, lurking 2,900 feet (884 meters) below sedimentary layers deposited over millions of years. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdeq.ms.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality<\/a>, an underground feature called the Jackson Dome sits below the city, and has been known to geologists since the 1860\u2019s. Scientists began to understand its structure better because of energy exploration and drilling during the 20th Century. New drilling data created the best map to date in 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/jackson-mississippi-volcano.jpg\" alt=\"Volcano Under Jackson, Mississippi. Fair use of image via MDEQ Environmental News: Volume 5 Issue 7; July 2008\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsouthernview.com\/pages\/nsv_wht_jacksons_volcano.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Residents of Jackson have little to worry about<\/a>. The volcano hasn&#8217;t erupted for 75 million years and its been totally extinct for about the last 70 million years or so. The landscape was considerably different during those days, too. This was the late Cretaceous period when Tyrannosaurs Rex and many of the familiar dinosaurs we&#8217;ve all heard about roamed the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A shallow sea covered a wide area of the modern-day central and southeastern United States, including most of Mississippi. Interspersed, there were several volcanic islands that rose above the seas in a rim-of-fire. The Jackson Dome, now buried and mostly unknown, was one of those islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kenlund\/3931957153\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/2641\/3931957153_7403f30201_b.jpg\" alt=\"Mississippi Coliseum, Jackson, Mississippi. Photo by Ken Lund; (CC BY-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><figcaption>The Mississippi Coliseum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One would never wish to sit dangerously close to an erupting volcano. The worst place of all would have be directly above the crater where magma exits from the depths of the earth. If the Jackson Dome were ever to erupt, and of course that&#8217;s no longer possible, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mississippi_Coliseum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mississippi Coliseum<\/a> would sit directly atop it (<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/NXmBRtegUy7eDHZV8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">map<\/a>). That almost seems a little ominous, doesn&#8217;t it? I can almost imaging the ash and dust instead of clouds, like the spirit of old Jackson Dome continuing to make its presence known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, it <em>does<\/em> make its present known, but not through volcanic activity. Massive amounts of carbon dioxide remain trapped beneath the surface, an echo of long-gone eruptions. Energy companies are able to harness the CO2 to force residual oil and gas from fields previously considered depleted. This has been so successful that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/finance\/newsbysector\/energy\/2789479\/US-volcano-may-hold-key-to-UK-oil-reserves.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">even other countries<\/a> have studied this model, including the United Kingdom for possible use in the North Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Midnight Volcano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nataliemaynor\/2832136884\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3208\/2832136884_d323f802e9_b.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to Midnight.
