Help!

[kaitou]

I'm a little underwhelmed by the nanowrimo help forum this year. I'm looking for some ideas on how you could theoretically 'trigger' a volcano. It can be either actually scientifically based, or magically based as long as it has a solid theory behind it. From what I understand explosives wouldn't be at all helpful.

When I asked on the nano forum I got the scintillating information that volcanoes blow when the pressure is too high, and a link to the wikipedia site. Because, gee, I didn't think to look there already. I'm trying to come up with an idea on how to artificially increase pressure in a fairly short amount of time. (few months?)

So does anyone have any possible ideas, even silly ones that could help trigger an idea? That way I won't have to go back to my useless little thread that's been buried under threads like 'vile cheeses' and 'name my character!'

Thank you!

Well, at my grade school science fair, I always just overloaded the baking soda and the vinegar...

I got nothin'. Uh. Maybe an earthquake? Earthquake triggers volcano by increasing pressure? Then you have to figure out how to manufacture the earthquake, I guess.

It's a magical earthquake!

lol. Yeah, I think if they could figure out how to trigger an earthquake, they'd probably just do that and skip the volcano. But I so want my cataclysmic eruption!
