Talk:Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve

Dormant, not extinct
The terms are imprecisely defined but with a last eruption ca. 37,000 years ago, or some 20,000 before the Holocene Tower Hill is certainly not best described as active. It is described as dormant in multiple official sources, although I am unable to find any information on why it seems to be considered capable of erupting again. Historically there have been a string of earthquakes extending north-northwest from Melbourne, so the general area is definitely active seismically if not volcanically.

At any rate, I changed the description to "dormant" to be in keeping with official sources. It would be great if someone could fill more geologic information on the area, if not on this page then on the Tower Hill (volcano) page where I'm leaving the description as "inactive" since it's basically a synonym for "dormant." 24.17.40.164 (talk) 24.17.40.164 (talk) 22:15, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
