No. Lake Tahoe was created when faulting caused by the movement of tectonic plate thrust up mountains around the area.
An extinct volcano must have not erupted in historical times (when history was first recorded). It takes many many years to distinguish an extinct volcano from a dormant one, and it is very difficult too. An example would be the Fourpeaked Mountain in Alaska, which prior to September 2006, is not believed to have erupted since earlier than 7994 BC! Mostly, it takes about 5,000 to 6,000 years for a dormant volcano to be considered extinct, except in rare cases. Another would be the hotspot theory. Whenever a volcano island moves away from the hotspot, the magma source is cut off, and the volcano is considered extinct. An example would the Hawaii Chain Islands.
active- or live volcano is one that is erupting or has shown signs that it may erupt in the near future dormant- volcano to awaken in the future and become active extinct- or dead volcano is unlikely to erupt again
Medicine Lake, a shield volcano located in California, has an elevation of 7,795 feet (2,376 meters) above sea level.
Crater Lake in Oregon was formed over 7,700 years ago when Mount Mazama, a volcano, collapsed after a massive eruption. The collapse created a deep caldera that eventually filled with rain and snowmelt, forming the pristine lake we see today. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and is known for its incredibly clear blue water.
Yosemite Valley and Lake Tahoe were formed as a result of erosion by glaciers in California. Yosemite Valley was carved by glaciers over millions of years, creating its iconic steep walls and U-shape. Lake Tahoe was also shaped by glaciers during the Ice Age, carving out its basin and surrounding peaks.
No. It is a volcano caldera. The lake is deep and very blue.
Crater Lake in Oregon is a lake that fills the caldera of an extinct volcano, Mount Mazama. It is known for its deep blue color and clarity, making it a popular tourist destination.
Mount Erebus is an active volcano with a lava lake in its crater.
Dormant. As evidenced for example by the steaming cliffs to the south of the lake.
Mt Taupo is a dormant volcanoe
I saw a documentary that showed that there is a cone like volcano deep under Lake Superior. I am wondering if it's named, or known to be true?
extinct volcano
