In the continuing effort to tap on geothermal energy for electricity, engineers are trying to tap on the power of a dormant volcano. In this project, planned for commencement in mid summer 2012, the Newberry Volcano in Bend, Oregon, will be harnessed for energy by pumping 24 million gallons of water into the side of the volcano. At the right depth, the water will come in contact with hot, magma-heated rocks. The super-heated and pressurized water will then be returned to the surface to drive turbines to generate electricity.....

This is an article I have composed through research online about supervolcanoes, what exactly classifies a volcano as being a "supervolcano", where there are 6 known supervolcanoes, as well as some relevant volcanic eruptions that have occured in the known past, how strong they were, and the impact they had on people at the time. It provides some comparison to volcanic eruptions that have happened in the past century compared to those in the distant past. Please read and enjoy.

My son loved this brightly colored dinosaur cake decorated with fondant dinosaurs. It has proved very popular on the dinosaur cakes site so I've added recipes for the cakes and instructions for assembly. The red fondant lava and fondant T-Rex, Triceratops, Pterodactyl and friends were a big success. And covering the cake in chocolate proved very popular! Make a young dino fan happy with a volcano birthday cake.
