The study author Zhongwen Zhan said: 'We don't think the region is gearing up for another supervolcanic eruption, but the cooling process may release enough gas and liquid to cause earthquakes and small eruptions.
For example, in May 1980, there were four magnitude 6 earthquakes in the region
OK - A bit hyperbolic because Long Valley is near Mammoth Lakes, more likely to dust up Mono Lake than Yosemite across the Sierras, due to prevailing winds.
L.A. would have no piece of this action, and in the next few years, hundreds or thousands of years probably more earthquakes and possible volcanic eruptions.
