Is there a volcano threat in the state of Michigan or a potential threat?

I agree, the threat of a volcanic eruption is very minimal in Michigan.\n\nIf you look at a geologic map of the bottom part of Michigan you will see that it is a giant dome that has been eroded over time.  I have not been able to find out if this was created due to some density differences, or if this is all that remains from an eroded volcanic cone.

Mt. St. Helen has actually been erupting slowly for the last two years. If there were a full scale eruption, the State of Washington is prepared to evacuate the blast zone just like in 1980 (the only people who died were those who refused to leave). Same thing with Mt. Ranier. Too bad about the skyline though, Mt. Ranier is a really distinctive feature in Western Washington.

Curiously, I could not find a comprehensive listing.  This site might be helpful, however, or at least give you a start.\n\nhttp://dir.yahoo.com/Science/Earth_Sciences/Geology_and_Geophysics/Volcanology/Volcanoes

I couldn't find any record of a recent volcanic eruption in Canada; however, there is a volcano in Alaska that is currently active.  The Augustine Volcano, about 175 miles southwest of Anchorage, entered an active phase on January 11, 2006 and is sending ash plumes as high as 25,000 feet into the air.\n\nFlights into Anchorage were temporarily suspended due to the ash cloud but have resume as of the evening of January 31.

Yes. It is a bit of a worry as its is displaying signs of 'grumbling'. If you are interested, there has been a volcanic eruption before which is potentially the size if Yellowstone blows it top. It happened 60-65Ma ago and is one of the possible reasons the Dinasaurs died out. \n\nIf and when Yellowstone goes, there is a very good chance that pretty much most of the US is going to be destroyed by either the flowing lava or the gases released into the atmosphere.\n\nAnyway I have provided you a link to the above mentioned Deccan Traps.

yes and it is due to erupt

Here is today's (nov 5) status report on St. Helen's from USGS: [not copyrighted]. \nMOUNT ST. HELENS UPDATE\n\nCurrent Volcano Alert Level WATCH ; Aviation Color Code ORANGE : Growth of the new lava dome inside the crater of Mount St. Helens continues, accompanied by low rates of seismicity, low emissions of steam and volcanic gases, and minor production of ash. During such eruptions, changes in the level of activity can occur over days to months. The eruption could intensify suddenly or with little warning and produce explosions that cause hazardous conditions within several miles of the crater and farther downwind. Small lahars could suddenly descend the Toutle River if triggered by heavy rain or by interaction of hot rocks with snow and ice. These lahars pose a negligible hazard below the Sediment Retention Structure (SRS) but could pose a hazard along the river channel upstream.\n\nPotential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds rising above the crater rim today would drift eastward.\n\nPotential ash hazards to aviation: Under current eruptive conditions, small, short-lived explosions may produce ash clouds that exceed 30,000 feet in altitude. Ash from such events can travel 100 miles or more downwind.\n\nRecent observations: The volcano is not visible today owing to clouds and heavy rain. Anecdotal reports and signals recorded on acoustic flow monitors on Saturday night suggest that the rains triggered debris flows that descended both the South Fork Toutle River and North Fork Toutle River, but these remain unconfirmed by field checking yet.

The two most likely volcanoes in the US (other than Hawaii) are Mt St Helens and Mt Hood. Either could erupt next year or in 30 years, it's only a matter of time.

there is a speculation of some eruptive volcano, because of  warmimg of pluto's atmosphere.\n\nVolcanoes on Pluto?\nJames Elliot of MIT led a team of astronomers who coordinated their observations and presented the findings today at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's (AAS) Division for Planetary Sciences in Birmingham, Ala.\n\nElliot hinted at the possibility of another factor fueling Pluto's warming trend.\n\nHe compared Pluto to Triton, a moon of Neptune. Both have atmospheres made mostly of nitrogen. In 1997, Triton occulted a star and astronomers found that its atmosphere had warmed since the last observations were made in 1989 during the Voyager mission. Back then, Voyager found dark material rising above Triton, indicating possible eruptive activity.\n\n"There could be more massive activity on Pluto, since the changes observed in Pluto's atmosphere are much more severe," Elliot said. "The change observed on Triton was subtle. Pluto's changes are not subtle."\n\nThere is no firm evidence that Pluto is volcanically active, but neither is there evidence to rule out that possibility. Even the Hubble Space Telescope can barely make out Pluto's surface.\n\nElliot added that the process affecting Pluto's temperature is complex. "We just don't know what is causing these effects," he said.\n \nGuess we will have to wait  as Tentative mission plans call for a robotic probe that would not reach Pluto for several years, making a flyby sometime prior to 2020 prior to investigating other objects deeper in the solar system.

Yahoo News Search on the topic of volcanos doesn't turn up anything in the Caribbean.\n\nThere's news today 2/10 of tracking Augustine in Alaska.

I'd give you the 10 points if I could.

It is confirmed active. \n\nIt may erupt anytime. no worries though, the Japanese people are currently working on a dam to control and direct the flow of lava.\n\nBut make sure it doesn't erupt because I have not climbed it yet, along with other people around the world!
