Why can't we just drill holes in the ground near the supervolcano to release pressure little by little?

No. For one thing, none of the supervolcanoes in the world are showing signs of erupting. Analysis of Yellowstone indicates that the magma chamber under Yellowstone is cooling and that too much of it has crystallized to produce a major eruption. Even then, trying to drill down to relieve pressure on a volcano before a major eruption would not work. The main problem is the sheer volume of material involved. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens released a cubic kilometer of ash and other eruptions have been far larger. A super eruption releases at least 1,000 cubic kilometers of ash. The rock in and around a volcano is usually heavily fractured anyway; this is how magma gets to the surface to erupt in the first place. Some have suggested that drilling into a volcano that is preparing to erupt could create a new conduit for magma and actually trigger an eruption.

How much precipitation is there in high pressure?
Depends on the situation. In most cases, high pressure means little or no precipitation. However, sometimes afternoon heating can cause stray thunderstorms to develop even under high pressure. There's also an "overrunning" factor in which low pressure or a trough in the upper atmosphere can cause warmer air to move on top of a cool high pressure that's at ground level. That can cause precipitation to develop in areas of very high surface air pressure.There are also little or no clouds
How do you ground a plastic box ground wire attached to GCFI and ground at fuse panel. Do I need to ground at the box itself as well?
Grounding a plastic box is a little hard as plastic is a nonconductor.be satisfied with grounding to a ground wire.

How does precipitation rain form?
Water that is already on the ground evaporates into the sky and creates clouds, then the clouds release water in little drops and that's how it rains
What is the air pressure of the Sahara Desert?
Actually, a desert has very high air pressure because dry air is so clear that the sun can easily heat through the ground, causing it to have very low humidity. That's why there is very little precipitation in desert's.
Where is the hood release on a 190e?
The hood release is below(under the dash) on left side.The exterior hood release is some what tricky.It is a flat (pull) lever in the grill,(sometimes it requires a little pressure on the edge of the chrome top to get the lever to extend).
What is 'tooth' in reference to drawing?
Tooth is the term used to determine the roughness of the ground (paper,artist's board, etc.) on which you are intending to draw. A ground with little tooth is generally smooth and polished with a "hard" surface. This sort of ground gathers less of your medium. A ground with a lot of tooth is generally rougher and coarser with a "softer" surface. This sort of ground will gather more of you medium with much less pressure than a smoother surface.
