Beneath the peaceful fields and forests of the Midwest lies a fiery secret—ancient volcanoes that once shaped the land. Most folks don’t realize Missouri, Minnesota, and even Kentucky are built on the remains of massive eruptions. While these volcanoes haven’t erupted in millions of years, scientists say some could technically wake up again, though it’s extremely unlikely. Still, the minerals, fertile soil, and unique landscapes we enjoy today are all thanks to this dramatic past. Knowing what’s under our feet really changes how we see the Midwest! What do you think—should we be more curious (or cautious) about our region’s volcanic roots? #Science #MidwestVolcanoes #HiddenHistory
