	Mono-Inyo Craters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mono Craters to the north sit along the eastern edge of Pumice Valley, a large caldera volcano.
		The Inyo Craters form the southern part of that line and are either phreatic (steam explosion) volcanoes or rhyolite domes.
		These craters were formed when heat from the raising magma superheated groundwater until the overlying dirt and rock could no longer contain the pressure, resulting in a massive steam explosion.

	Geologic History of the Long Valley Caldera
		The Mono Craters were formed by multiple eruptions of high-silica rhyolite 40,000 - 600 years ago, and the Inyo Craters were formed by eruptions of low-silica rhyolite 5,000 - 500 years ago.

	v52b in fm04
		AB: Uranium and Th isotope measurements for some of the youngest basaltic- to rhyolitic lava flows associated with the Long Valley caldera and Mono-Inyo Craters indicate that the lavas have pronounced U and Th isotopic disequilibrium.
		A basaltic inclusion from the Mono Inyo dacite (age = 18 Ka, epsilon-Nd = +2) is one of the samples farthest to the right of the equiline, which indicates that the basaltic magmatism associated with the formation of the silicic magma system is subduction-like.
		This observation is in accord with the young age of the Mono Craters (less than about 18 Ka) and suggests that this system has not yet stored up a large amount of silicic magma that could feed an eruption of Bishop Tuff size.

		Mammoth Mountain, the Mono Craters and Inyo Craters also owe their existence to volcanic activity in the Mono-Inyo Volcanic Crater chain.
		Scientists estimate that eruptions have occurred in the area for nearly four million years and that two volcanic systems - the Long Valley Caldera and the Mono-Inyo Craters volcanic chain - are responsible for most of the activity.
		Long Valley Caldera is a large depression in the earth located about 12-1/2 miles south of Mono Lake.

		However, the caldera is located in a structurally complex and dynamic area that also includes the Inyo Craters and Mono Craters volcanic chains, which are sparsely monitored even though they have produced the most recent eruptions in the area, and the White Mountains seismic gap with its potential for a magnitude 7+ earthquake.

	Aron's SURF Proposal '98
		The Mono and Inyo Craters comprise a young volcanic chain with a violent and exciting history, and there is strong evidence that another eruption in the region is very likely in the near geologic future.
		In general, activity within the resurgent dome has not been linked with the formation and later eruptions of the Mono and Inyo Craters, however, there may be good reason to connect the two.
		Sieh has continued the study by beginning an investigation of the 610 A.D. eruption of the Mono Craters, although much data has yet to be collected, and much analysis remains to be done.

	Long-Term Outlook for Long Valley Caldera
		The area of eastern California that includes Long Valley Caldera and the Mono-Inyo Craters volcanic chain has a long history of geologic activity that includes both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
		Future eruptions are more likely to occur somewhere along the Mono-Inyo Craters volcanic chain than from the resurgent dome or south moat area within the caldera.
		In the absence of unrest (earthquake swarms, ground deformation, gas emissions, and fumarole activity), the odds of an eruption occurring in any given year along the chain are one in a few hundred (comparable to the odds for a great [magnitude 8] earthquake along the San Andreas fault in coastal California).
