New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH Waimak Earthquake bubbles. Quoting: Tauranga Uploaded by znomods on Dec 24, 2011 Dave from Jungle Patrol Cafe out fishing with pomy mate .. nek minit earthquake hits and river starts to bubble .. crazy! Christchurch, NZ, Friday 23rd December 2011 That's interesting, now my feeling is that is gases coming from decomp. of the river bottom. Not sure could be oxygen, but I'm thinking more along methane.. Cue the word methane. I wonder how much methane is released from lakes, rivers, ocean when an earthquake hits.. hiya sis except this happened as well... New boiling hot springs near Christchurch? New volcano activity? [link to thewatchers.adorraeli.com] Hi Sis, How far away is the river from the hot springs? Reason why I say methane. When we go fishing her in the river and the water is down and no rain, we get a lot of methane bubbles, which do occur naturally. When you walk in the muddy river, along the edge, in the water, you will get releases similar to that. This being an eq. that would shake the mud up intensively and you would have methane release look like boiling water... hiya that i do not know can anyone from christchurch answer mahala's question please? |

In its 8 a.m. bulletin, NDRRMC said that the alert level remains raised in both volcanoes after volcanic earthquakes were observed during the past 24 hours. One volcanic eartquake was observed in Mayon, while 5 were observed in Taal. The alert level was first raised on both volcanoes on Thursday, November 1, after 5 volcanic earthquakes were recorded in Mayor and 2 were observed in Taal. Alert level 1 means that abnormal volcanic activities are observed, though a hazardous eruption is not imminent. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) is closely monitoring the activities in both volcanoes. The public is being advised to avoid the 6km radius Permanent Danger Zone on Mayon volcano, and to avoid the entire Taal volcano island. –Rappler |

Hendra Gunawan, from the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center’s (PVMBG) said that since 10 a.m. tremors have been increasing in the region with the length of more than 32 millimeters. “It’s an over-scale earthquake,” Hendra told reporters on Monday, October 29. In addition to the increasing tremors, the PVMBG has also received reports from Mount Ijen monitoring office, which reported black smoke spewing out of Mount Raung reaching up to 100 meters high. However, Hendra has urged residents not to panic and wait for announcements of further monitoring from the PVMBG. “But we must remain vigilant,” said Hendra. –Tempo Interactive |

New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH The Canterbury Earthquake: Why and How Uploaded by proudlydismal on Sep 30, 2010 Prof Kevin Furlong (Penn State University & UC Erskine Fellow) gave a fascinating description and explanation of the extraordinary Earthquake to hit Christchurch New Zealand (in the Canterbury region) on Sept 4. This is one seminar you don't want to miss, you don't want your family to miss, nor expats or friends overseas. Kevin is a superb speaker, providing deep insight and explanation in an informative but non-technical manner, as he "walked the fault line" literally hours after the massive quake struck. Kevin's abstract: "Earthquakes such as the September 4 Canterbury event reflect New Zealand's position astride the Pacific-Australia plate boundary. Although we tend to focus on the major, highly visible fault lines, such as the Alpine Fault, it is important to remember that many secondary structures can host large and damaging earthquakes. This event provides evidence of the ongoing plate motions but also the manner in which plate boundary deformation is distributed. This presentation will focus on both details of the actual event and where it fits into the bigger picture of plate tectonics in New Zealand." |
