[The nozzle of a "Dust-Off" gas duster can is pointing into a hole on the Earth's surface in the Pacific Ocean, and its trigger is pressed as an arrow indicates, resulting in steam being released from five visible spots of the Earth.]
[Caption below the panel:]

The vent off of Alaska is poking out, is there a volcano around there? Feels a little north to be Mount Fuji, but I have a suspicion most if not all are supposed to be actually volcanos... NiceGuy1 (talk) 04:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula (the long "teardrop" hanging below the Siberian Peninsula) is very volcanically active. The others look like reasonable places to expect volcanoes - I've added a couple of lines. 172.68.64.207 05:25, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Should the direction of up/down actually being away/towards the planet due to gravity and not the panel's up/down direction be addressed in the explanation? 172.71.31.150 13:34, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
