Volcanoes erupting

[CandyGirl]

In this forum we should put all vocanoes erupting in 2011, so that we can keep them all together, instead of having a load of different posts.

you can also check out this link to check which ones are going off:

Well now Miss Candy, this is somewhat interesting what you chose to start
a thread on.
Although i can understand why some would favor what you suggest, I
like to read the name of each Volcano that is "talking" around the planet as
a seperate thread distinct from some other Volcano sputtering and spewing.
That is pretty lipstick for your "pic". Do you where that glittery stuff?
Nice intergalactic look for sure.

Great idea
these things need a little "love" as well(discussion wise of course)

I already posted that link, more than once, on earthchanges thread. I also post updates on volcanoes about once a week, on earthchanges and also the earthquakes about once a week.

I am also posting links, to see Old Faith geyser in Yellowstone park, etc. on Earthchanges

Krakatoa.

[krakatoa]

I want to say, that it is still a good idea to have a thread on volcanoes, the only thing I want to say, is that I wont post on the two thread, the same things, at the same time, If I post here, it will be something different, than what I post on EarthchangesIII

Krakatoa.

This one I wanted to post it here also. It brings me way back in time, when I was reading my first volcano book.


Paricutin: The Volcano Born in a Mexican Cornfield

The extraordinary moment of Parícutin's birth was first witnessed by a group of Tarascan Indian farmers. Their testimony leads off the comprehensive collection of reports in this benchmark study of a unique geological event.

For the first time, the editors have brought together dispersed geological reports along with photographs, sequential maps, and cone profiles that follow the progress of the eruption. Reports on the effects on the local population and their resettlement are included, as well as reports on the biological consequences of the eruption.

As the definitive book on Parícutin, the geological, sociological, and biological sides of the story are covered through reprintings from 49 classic studies of the eruption that includes the work of Foshag and González-Reyna, Wilcox, Ordóñez, Rees, and Nolan.

"This bargain anniversary book is a well-made tale by two Smithsonian volcanologists with a gift for narrative." -- Scientific American.

Luhr, James F., and Simkin, Tom, 1993, Parícutin: the volcano born in a Mexican cornfield: Geoscience Press, Phoenix AZ, 427 p.

Of course my post has nothing to do with the selling of the book it is only to tell the story that happened way back in time, farmers were aware that the earth was warm, they did not know why, they learned it soon enough

A volcano was emerging, the birth of Paricutin volcanoe.


The weekly volcanoes report, is on earthchange III, just in case you want to see it guys. :)

Well we have lots of threads dealing with Yellowstone, most taken from a media hype, rather from a true research formate. Its not good science to blend in different types of volcanoes in the same topic, simply because an eruption in Iceland has no real connection to a hot spot caldera 8,000 miles away or subduction.

Each type is unique in its nature, and have a multitude of reasons for their own eruptions. Just because two or even 3 may take place anywhere in the world at a given time tends to lead people to an assumption that "somethings up"... but in fact they are not related to some mysterious cause. Its just the continuous momentum of tectonics and volcanics.

well i have done a thread to put all the vocanoes that is erupting but obviously is there is a big volcano going off, i do a seperate thread too.

Mt St Helens Volcano, USA
A swarm of earthquakes hit Mt St Helens volcano on 14th February 2011. The earthquakes were centered in an area near the Johnston Ridge Observatory, about 7 km north of the crater. The earthquakes had a focus at a depth of about 2-4 km. At least 12 small earthquakes were measured in the area since Monday. The initial earthquake was the largest with a magnitude of 4.3 and hit around 10:35 a.m. local time. The earthquakes are possibly caused by fault movement under the volcano as a result of magma removal during the 1980 eruption. Earthquake swarms occurred in the same area in January 2011 and August 1980. The USGS stated "at present there appears to be no signs of unrest in the volcanic system". The current volcano alert level for Mount St. Helen's remains at normal

It's a German article so google translator may be helpful to you. It reads that the lava level has been rising dramatically over the last several years...

Mt Etna Volcano, Italy
Mt Etna's second eruption of the year occurred at SE crater on 18th February, 36 days after the previous eruption. The eruption lasted 11 hours and produced strombolian activity, fountains, and a lava flow. The active vent was located on the lower eastern flank of SE crater. The eruption was preceded by an explosive event probably at NE Crater, late on 16th February. A lava flow from SE crater descended eastward, following the same path as that of the 12-13 January, in the direction of the Valle del Bove. Light ashfall was reported on the flanks of the volcano

Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
A new fissure eruption has begun at Kilauea volcano in Hawaii on 5th March. The floor of Pu'u O'o crater collapsed over a period of 10 minutes. The event was preceded by a rapid deflation of Pu'u O'o and increased tremor along Kīlauea's middle east rift zone near Makaopuhi and Napau craters. There was also deflation at the summit. New fissure opened between Pu'u O'o and Napau crater. The fissure ejected lava spatter 20 m high.

Great Japan Earthquake 2011 and Volcanic Eruptions
The Great Japan Earthquake of 2011 (mag 8.9) and its aftershocks, are capable disrupting volcanoes large distances from the epicentre. Very large eruptions are possible after Great Earthquakes. It is possible for eruptions to occur anytime after the earthquake, and the high risk period will last for several months. Japan contains ten percent of the world's active volcanoes. The closest active volcano to the earthquake is Narugo, 150 km WNW of the epicentre. Volcanoes near to the earthquake epicentre include:
Kurikoma (153 km), Zao (170 km), Hijiori (195 km), Azuma (200 km), Adatara (200 km), Iwate (205 km), Akita-Komaga-take (210 km), Bandai (220 km), Chokai (220 km), Hachimantai (223 km), Akita-Yake-yama (228 km), and Nasu (250 km).
The aftershocks are migrating south and now are within 70 km of Tokyo and 200 km of Mt Fuji volcano. Mt Fuji last erupted in 1708.

I just wanted to say that I was around (on interstate I 5) the morning Mt. St. Helens erupted and, as anyone who was at a safe distance can tell you, it is a most awsome site to see. Mother Nature giving birth in the most dramatic fashion. Even as you are filled with a sense of wonder, you are also filled with a sense of terror knowing what such a power can do. I now live at the base of Mt. Rainier and am always aware and watchful. Not with a sense of fear, but with a sense of respect, knowing that I owe the veiw I have today to nature and that nature will one day take it away to make something new and just as lovely for those that follow behind me, next in line to enjoy what I do today.
