If you “Googled” the volcano called “Black Butte”, it would tell you that it is not a cinder cone but a stratovolcano. It also indicates that this volcano is located in the state of Oregon and not California, like the image says. Why do you think there is such a discrepancy in information for this volcano?

Question

If you “Googled” the volcano called “Black Butte”, it would tell you
that it is not a cinder cone but a stratovolcano. It also indicates that this volcano
is located in the state of Oregon and not California, like the image says. Why do
you think there is such a discrepancy in information for this volcano?

Expert Solution
Explanation:

I'm not clear why there are conflicting reports about the volcano known as "Black Butte." I can, however, make some educated guesses as to the possible causes of this mismatch.

First off, there can be multiple volcanoes with the name "Black Butte," and the data that appears in a Google search isn't always reliable or current.

Second, the data presented in the graphic can be inaccurate or out of the current. The content may not have been checked or updated, and the image may have been incorrectly labeled or attributed.

Last but not least, it's also possible that the data returned by the Google search was inaccurate. Although Google makes an effort to deliver accurate and trustworthy information, the information that it gathers from diverse sources may contain errors or inaccuracies.
