Lassen Peak as seen from Lake Helen
The geology of the Lassen volcanic area presents a record of sedimentation and volcanic activity in the area in and around Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. The park is located in the southernmost part of the Cascade Mountain Range in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oceanic tectonic plates have plunged below the North American Plate in this part of North America for hundreds of millions of years. Heat from these subducting plates has fed scores of volcanoes in California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia over at least the past 30 million years and is also responsible for activities in the Lassen volcanic area. Between 2 and 4 million years ago, volcanic-derived mud flows called lahars streamed down several major mountains that included nearby but now extinct Mount Yana and Mount Maidu to become the Tuscan Formation. Phreatic eruptions, dacite and andesite lava flows along with cinder cone formation have persisted into modern times. Most notable of these is the 18th century formation of Cinder Cone and the 1914 to 1921 eruption of Lassen Peak. The only activity since then has been the constant bubbling of mud pots and steaming of fumaroles from the various geothermal areas in Lassen Volcanic National Park. However, there exists a potential for renewed vigorous volcanic activity that could threaten life and property in the area. (more...)

The following is a complete episode list for the serial drama series Lost, which began airing on September 22, 2004. In addition to the twenty-four episodes in season one, a special clip show, Lost: The Journey, aired on April 27, 2005 to put the mysteries of the island and the characters in perspective in the lead-up to the season finale. The second and third seasons included six more clip shows to recap the series. The series ended its third season on May 23, 2007. ABC has announced that Lost would end after its sixth season, with seasons four through six each containing 16 hours of episodes, ending with a total of 117 episodes produced.[1] Because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, only 14 hours of Lost will be produced for season four. On February 28, 2008, it was revealed in the official Lost audio podcast that the time cut from this season would be added to the next two seasons.[2]

As of May 29, 2008, the fourth season finale, 83 episodes of Lost have aired. The first three seasons are available on DVD in Regions 1, 2, 3 and 4.
