Kimsachata (Canchis)

 * ... that the isolated Kimsachata volcano is the northernmost active volcano in Peru, its Oroscocha dome having erupted 4450 BCE?


 * Reviewed: Lewis Robertson

5x expanded by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk). Self-nominated at 15:28, 18 June 2016 (UTC).


 * New Enough
 * Expanded enough, from 378 b before to 2383 b now is more than the required 5 times expansion
 * Reliable sources
 * No copyright violations.
 * The hook confuses me though - if it was active 4450 BCE - or 6000 years ago is that still "active"? not clear on the volcano terms, it seems to be a "young volcano" - does that mean there are also "old volcanoes" in Peru? The hook also puts two separate, independent facts together? Northern most and then year it erupted?

 * A bit in a hurry due to real world events, but in geology the difference between "active" or "extinct" for volcanoes is generally drawn at the "10,000 years ago" or "Holocene". There are volcanoes even farther north but none of them was active within that timespan, whereas this one was. I was using the date given by the GVP to illustrate why it was considered "active".Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:09, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
