Can I make a volcano?
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?

It'll get more complex than that. I'm no expert, but I'm guessing you have to consider the depth of the crust at your location, type of soil and the distance from (and time since) the last closest volcanic eruption, possibly distance from the nearest tectonic boundary, maybe even tidal forces (assuming they have a considerable impact on magma being pushed out, but this may be a bit too far)
The closest eruption was the snag point I was thinking. We're relatively near a fault line, but I don't know of any volcanoes for a very, very long distance.
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.
Ah that one is different then
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.
