The bulge of Casita

Nature, 2000, vol. 403, issue 6772, 846-846

Abstract: Casita is a dormant volcano in Nicaragua, which nonetheless remains dangerous. The reason is a bulge on one of its flanks, caused by the gradual weakening of the volcano's core by hydrothermal activity which turns rock into deformable clays. Surveys of the area, backed up with experimental simulations, give the estimate that the bulge has been developing for at least 500 years.
