This part of Indiana I live in is pretty flat. Dull, right? So I figure, why not have a volcano? Now… I get my magic drill machine that can drill as deep as I want it to drill.

If I drill a deep enough hole, say through the crust of the Earth, will it turn into a volcano?

    Of you’re talking new Madrid fault line in southern Illinois then you’re kinda close but a couple hundred-ish miles away even if you’re in Evansville Indiana area. I think the closest volcano is in Washington state to us.

    Please don’t make a volcano in southern Indiana, my family in southern Illinois probably won’t enjoy being between a volcano and a major tectonic fault both lol

    Edit: just to antagonize any Spaniards reading this, we don’t pronounce muh-drid like it should be, we say mad-rid here in southern Illinois. Fun stuff, idk why we screw it and Cairo both up

      You don’t even want to know how people pronounce Terre Haute where I live.

        Tear-ra hoe-te

        Think I did that right but not sure on how to spell out how we say haute in a southern Illinois accent.

        If you’re a Hoosier from south of Indianapolis then we likely speak very similarly

          I hear “Terr Hoot” all the time. Why “hoot?” I have no idea.

              And it’s in Vigo county, which is either pronounced Vee-go or Vy-go. I’ve seen Ghostbusters 2, so I know how it’s pronounced

      Oddly it’s the same in New Mexico, where people should know better. There’s a town between Santa Fe and Albuquerque called New MAD-rid.

        Even worse since some level of Spanish should be understood by most everyone in the southwest lol

          It was a mining town, so I thought that probably it was named/renamed by non-Hispanic Europeans. But why would they call it Madrid? So I have no idea.
