In North America all the major deserts have volcanoes. All are classified as extinct or dormant, however. New Mexico has a number of volcanoes that have erupted in the last few thousands years, especially along the Rio Grande Rift. There are also a number of subterranean magma chambers in the region that are still very much alive and occasionally cause minor earthquakes and could pose a possible threat for a future eruption..
