What is Nazko Cone?
'''Nazko Cone''' is a small [[volcano]] in central [[British Columbia]], Canada. It is approximately 75&nbsp;km west of the town of Quesnel. It is in the eastern part of the [[Anahim Volcanic Belt]]. The most recent [[Volcanic eruption|eruption]] of Nazko Cone was 7200 years ago. A series of small [[earthquake]]s occurred in the area of Nazko Cone beginning on October 10, 2007. Most of these earthquakes were magnitude 1.0 or less; some as strong as magnitude 3.2 were centered 25 kilometers below the surface. The cause of these earthquakes is believed to be the rising of molten [[magma]] because there are no [[fault]]s or [[plate tectonics|tectonic plate]] boundaries. The source of this magma is from the [[Anahim hotspot]] and continues to this day. {{multistub|Geo|Canada}} [[Category:Volcanoes of British Columbia]]
