Just because a mountain is composed of "volcanic" rock doesn't make it a "volcano".
But the previous poster's first hand reports do give me something to think about.... Quoting: Duncan Kunz

Peavine Peak and a few other mountains there are dormant volcanoes.

And earthquake swarms CAN be associated with magma movement. The thought that magma is moving beneath this long dormant volcano, though compelling and possible, is not necessarily the case. The fact that the swarms are occurring in the volcano vicinity is also very compelling. But, there are plenty of occasions, especially in California, where there are EQ swarms and no magma involved.
The volcano is thought to be extinct.
This is where numerous earthquake swarms
have been happening recently.. eq swarms
are associated with moving magma.

not really true, but not incorrect.
The vast amount of Tahoe was formed when the volcano there went boom, and what's left is a deep caldera, deep enough that if you took the water out and spread it to 14 inches thick, it could cover a flat area the size of California. [link to www.tahoecam.com]
But, there are areas there that are glacial in formation. [link to gsa.confex.com]
Some people think Lake Tahoe was a volcano, but it was formed by a glacier and stopped there and melted into the lake. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 384461

If you look at the map, the Owens valley is to the bottom right, the major source of LA'a water (remember the movie Chinatown, it was about the fight for Owens water rights).
To the left, or west of that, is Mammoth, which is always covered with snow, lots of snow.
A Caldera does not have a vent, like a normal volcano, so when and if it blows, an enormous amount of earth, blows off the top before the magma flows. Such a blast would not only fill the LA basin, the San Joaquin Valley, and the eastern sierra's (Carson City, Nev) with unimaginable tons of earth, the pyroclastic blast would melt the snow of Mammoth, and drain the Owens Valley reservoir into the same areas, where roughly 12 million people reside, covering the areas with mud.
They say when, and if, Yellowstone blows, it will spread ash to the Texas panhandle, while Long Valley will spread to seven adjoing states, and pretty much eliminate much of southern and central Calif, and southern nevada.

Some scientists have theorized that there is a thick band of continuous lava flow circling the globe about 250 miles beneath the crust. It may have been proven partially correct last year when two scientists from Arizona State University discovered a large, ten-mile thick lava flow underneath Tucson.
It was in Nature magazine last summer so don't have a link. |

That would be plate tectonics theory you'd heard of. And the 10 mile thick lava is not it.

for more info.
In general, the globe is theorized to be a big (for lack of a better term) onion. The crust (including the oceanic sea bed) is the outer core, then there are a few layers in the mantel (upper, middle and lower) which is the magma zone you'd heard of, then finally the outer and then the inner cores.
The upper mantel is thought to act as conveyor belt for the crust, as well as having convection like qualities. Kinda like a big pot being slowly stirred. If you cut the earth in half, you'd see the flow from center of ocean towards the continents, cut off by the subducting crust, down to the middle mantel then back to the center of the ocean and up. beneath the crust, you have a similar convection flow. This flow takes a long time to do a full loop. but, from the start of the mantel on in, the magma doesn't stop. Just gets thicker and hotter.

I think that the recent earthquake swarms are indicitive of some form of immenent volconac activity. I also think that the folks at the USGS know this, but are trying to avoid the V word. They spoke, in depth, about the Illinois quake the following day, but for some reason are unwilling to admit that a volcano is a possibility here. |

I hope that poster realizes that the smell of sulphur....most likely means there is liquid lava close by...I stood on the lava beds at Kilhuea...and the smell of sulphur, took my breath away...a few feet away, liquid lava was flowing into the ocean...if I smelled sulphur close to where I lived...I think I'd be paying very close attention..and I'd also be prepared to get out of town quickly....rr |

All this is fine and dandy. But think about it. It does stimulate daft discussion. And thats not all bad. |
