<< said that a lava dome was rising in the Palmerton/Jim Thorpe area of Pennsylvania. He also said that weel water was too hot to drink. >> Haven't heard of anything like this. I'd find it very unlikely given the geology of NE PA … that being the hardcoal country. I wouldn't normally think of warm springs in an area like that either. As a whole, the region is quite inactive. It would be a lot more believable that the warm well water might be caused by some smouldering mine fire than by any geothermal process. But I'd be fascinated to hear anything more about the phenomenon!
