All week long, shiny automotive chariots plied the broad avenues of Manhattan, bottling up traffic and leaving crowds of normally blaséNew Yorkers gawking.

More than 500 volcanoes are classified as active, most of them lying in the so-called Ring of Fire, a broad circle that more or less coincides with the boundaries of the Pacific, where oceanic plates are diving under continental plates. Of particular concern to scientists are some of the peaks in the Cascades, the mountain range that includes Mount St. Helens. The Mammoth Lakes ski-resort area in California is another area of potential volcanic activity...
