The sizes of symbols scale with earthquake magnitude, and their color with either the age of the earthquake or its depth, as shown in the legend below, and selected in the Control Panel. Clicking on an earthquake symbol shows its basic information and a link to a page with more details about the individual earthquake.

Mount Jefferson is a stratovolcano, and the second highest peak in Oregon State. It is located 169 km E of Corvallis, OR.
Details regarding eruptive events at Mount Jefferson are poorly known for several reasons. The last major eruption occurred around 7,600 years ago, and since that time the volcano has been covered by large glaciers that have eroded away many deposits. Mount Jefferson has a history that extends back for several hundred thousand years, and it has exhibited a wide range of eruptive styles from highly explosive events to lava flows and lava domes.
