From one sister to another, thank you!

Tourists, fishermen told to stay clear of Indonesia's 'Child of Krakatoa' - Authorities are warning tourists and fishermen to stay more than a mile (two kilometers) from a smoking Indonesian volcano known as “Child of Krakatoa.” The volcano in the Sunda Strait, 80 miles (130 kilometers) west of the capital, Jakarta, was created by the same tectonic forces that led to the 1883 Krakatoa eruption that killed tens of thousands of people. Its “child,” growing five yards (meters) a year, is now 1,320 feet (400 meters) tall and popular among hikers. The mountain’s alert level was raised to the second-highest level last week after the number of volcanic tremors soared from 200 a day to 7,200. A powerful burst could shoot incandescent rocks down its slopes and far into the ocean.

Volcano ash still clouds life for some in Argentina - In Villa La Angostura, in Patagonia in southern Argentina, on an almost daily basis, volcanic ash has been falling on the town since the Puyehue volcano in neighbouring Chile erupted in June.

Busy September for Costa Rican volcanoes - We tend to talk about three volcanoes in Costa Rica: the ever-active Arenal, the renewed Turrialba and Poás. Now we can add another volcano to the watch list, that being Rincón de la Vieja. Like the other Costa Rican volcanoes, it is a composite volcano with overlapping craters at its summit. It is a hulk of a volcano with a total volume of over 130 km3

Another one.

Magnitude 5.6 - REYKJANES RIDGE

Quick forcast before i crash and go to bed.....

Energy flow currently over Chile heading west toward New Zealand

that makes 4 with each one getting stronger..... volcanic? in the ocean?

I am afraid I think your right on this one. What else would explain all this seismic activity?

Hi, I have been following this thread forever:) Thank you for all the updates!

Thinking things are rising fast and boiling over in allot of places.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a mid-ocean ridge, a divergent tectonic plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, and part of the longest mountain range in the world. It separates the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate in the North Atlantic, and the African Plate from the South American Plate in the South Atlantic. The Ridge extends from a junction with the Gakkel Ridge (Mid-Arctic Ridge) northeast of Greenland southward to the Bouvet Triple Junction in the South Atlantic. Although the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is mostly an underwater feature, portions of it have enough elevation to extend above sea level. The section of the ridge which includes the island of Iceland is also known as the Reykjanes Ridge. The average spreading rate for the ridge is about 2.5 cm per year.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge includes a deep rift valley which runs along the axis of the ridge along nearly its entire length. This rift marks the actual boundary between adjacent tectonic plates, where magma from the mantle reaches the seafloor, erupting as lava and producing new crustal material for the plates.

If I'm not mistaken Bermuda is on the Mid Atlantic Ridge.
Yesterday there were those quakes in Bermuda. Could it be possible that the whole ridge is going active??

I am really hoping Ruapehu erupts, if anything has to here.

Taupo and Taranaki are looking a bit different to usual..

Of course i constantly worry about Mayor island, because the graphs are 'not on' so we don't know what is happening there...

Good night all. My prayer is for everyone to be safe.

Thank you all for your posts that help people like me.

Peace

Good night shenue, sleep well.

Gabe, a quick question from this layman. It seems as if, and as you are indicating, there is a significant build up in magma both inland and undersea. Would it be less of an impact on the planet (and it's inhabitants) if the pressure release occurred under the ocean rather than on land, or would it destroy enough sea life that this too would be catastrophic, of course dependent on the intensity of such a release ?

Good morning and Namaste to all.

good morning....peace

the Sikkim quake is a while ago but this int:


A first look at NASA satellite imagery of the landslides from the Sikkim earthquake

NASA have manage to collect a satellite image of the earthquake affected area around Sikkim in northern India, recently affected by the M-6.9 earthquake. This is quite a feat given that we are in the tail end of the monsoon season, when clouds are abundant in this area. The news reports and photos from the site have suggested multiple landslide occurrence in the earthquake, so of course an image is a good way to look at this. The image is a 10 m spatial resolution ALI image, which produces a product that looks like an aerial photograph, and thus is easy to interpret.....

I'm surprised no one mentioned the 6.2 in Argentina.

Sorry, double post.

Good evening. Energy flow on its way to North America... Alaska to Cali.

Iceland's massive volcano Katla appears on the brink of a major eruption just days after officials confirmed that over the summer they had detected the start of eruptions. Measuring devices Wednesday morning picked up a large earthquake swarm, usually a tell-tale sign of a potential volcanic eruption. The intense swarm of earthquakes started at midnight and dozens of tremors were been recorded - the strongest with a magnitude of 4.1 at around 3am.
The Icelandic Government last month announced it was increasing the monitoring Katla, which is one of Europe's most feared volcanoes, following a consistent and strengthening spike of tremors and quakes. And last week, officials at the Iceland Meteorological Office confirmed a series of smaller eruptions had occurred in July. They said the high seismic tremors recorded on July 8 and 9 confirmed Katla had become active and had started small eruptions. Evidence gathered by geophysicists showed the magma had risen to the height of the glacier ice above the volcano causing it to melt.
It is believed that four eruptions that have taken place in the last fifteen years, are the beginning of an active period, during which major eruptions may be expected every two to seven years. Data provided by the Icelandic Meteorological Office confirms seismic activity has been increasing in the region in recent years, indicating the entry of magma. According to the report, the Hekla volcano is expected to erupt in the near future and an eruption in Katla is also impending. Katla, which has not experienced a significant eruption for 93 years, is the second largest volcano on Iceland and its eruption will be felt across Europe. Last year, the country's president warned "the time for Katla to erupt is coming close, Iceland has prepared and it is high time for European governments and airline authorities all over Europe and the world to start planning for the eventual Katla eruption". Katla is much larger than its neighbouring Eyjafjallajokull – which erupted last year - with a magma chamber about 10 times the size. Volcanologists warn that if Katla does erupt, the combination of the magma and the large ice sheet covering the volcano could lead to explosive activity and an ash plume for weeks, if not months.

Accuweather forecasts extreme cold winter for Chicago, Illinois - Accuweather's forecast projects Chicago will again be hit by extreme cold weather and several blizzards, much as it endured last winter when more than 50inches fell on the city including a single storm that dropped 20 inches.

Hi gabe,

Hope u are feeling a little better with each day
