Shield volcanoes, the largest type of volcano, can be found in several locations in the western United States, but the state that is the richest in them is Hawaii, since the Hawaiian Islands are nothing more than giant shield volcanoes that rose from the ocean floor. There are only four currently active shield volcanoes in America, three in Hawaii and one in Alaska, and five that are dormant at this time: two more in Hawaii, one in California, one in Oregon, and one in Washington.

Is the atomic bomb a major cause of global warming?
== == Possibly, there have been numerous scientists since the atomic bomb's beginning that have been concerned with the idea that the atmosphere could be burned up from setting off such a bomb. As well, at least one atomic bomb was set off in the atmosphere during testing so there has been some suspicious as to what the effect of this was on the earth. Below you'll find what another user said, what he said is partially true. Yes the debris would shield the sunlight but again part of the atmosphere maybe burned up in the process thus after the debris settles then global warming would ensue do to lack of shielding the atmosphere normally provides us with. "No, it would actually do the exact opposite. Like the clouds of dust and ash from an erupting volcano the debris from an atom bomb would shield us from the sun, preventing infrared radiation reaching us. (A different kind of radiation would reach us instead.)"
