Re: The monsters wakes up ! Katla Hekla Iceland Dead Zone and rift as uniform system ! A lot of others worldwide !
December 4, 2012 – CALIFORNIA - An energetic earthquake swarm centered beneath rhyolite domes in the Coso Volcanic Field (CA) continues, with over 20 earthquakes ranging between M1 and M3 so far today. Many smaller events (hundreds) are recorded as well. The swarm initiated on 27 November and has included earthquakes as large as M3.7. The Coso Volcanic Field is located in Inyo County, California, at the western edge of the Basin and Range geologic province and northern region of the Mojave Desert. The Coso Volcanic Field is one of the most seismically active regions in the United States, producing dozens of tremors in the M1 and M2 range each week. Tremors in the M3 range occur at a rate of 2-6 per month and M4 quakes occur two-three times each year. Recent activity in the M5 range happened in 1996 and 1998 when tremors of M5.3, M5.1, M5.2, and M5.0 occurred with a day of each other. These tremors were actually recorded along the eastern side of the Coso Volcanic Field, 15 miles (24 km). September 30, 2009 to October 6, 2009 there have been 429 earthquakes ranging from 0.1 up to a 5.2. Some days have activity just about one every minute. On October 2, 2009 there were three earthquakes (5.2, 4.7, and a 4.9) all within one hour of each other. Earthquake swarms are common in the Coso area, often producing hundreds of tremors over periods of time as short as a few days. This kind of brisk and robust seismic activity is common in volcanic areas, such as Long Valley Caldera located near Mammoth Lakes, and Yellowstone Caldera at Yellowstone. Geologists say the last eruption of the volcanic fields occurred 30 to 40,000 years ago. –Earthquake Report, Wikipedia [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

Earthquake swarms could indicate eruption near Nisyros, Greece
Tuesday Dec 04, 2012 11:33 AM | Age: 6 hrs
BY: VOLCANOBULLETIN
A seismic swarm of 2000 microearthquakes near the island of Nisyros since 24 November could indicate a start of a or coming of a volcanic eruption near Nisyros.
The quakes are located between the area of Simi Island (Greece) and the Bozburun peninsula of SW Turkey: click here for a map and list of quakes.
Information is still scanty, but seismic signals from this possible eruption are very similar to those recorded from current volcanic eruptions.
If an eruption is taking place, it would form a new submarine volcano near Nisyros.

Langila Volcano, Papua New Guinea
Volcanic ash emissions from Langila volcano, Papua New Guinea reached an altitude of 7000 ft and extended 60 nautical miles northwest on 6th December 2012, and satellite images showed a sulphur dioxide plume extending northwest. Langila is one of the most active volcanoes in the Bismarck arc. Volcanic activity at Langila typically consists of Strombolian-Vulcanian and Vulcanian eruptions and lava flows.

Volcano Eruption in Russia [Asia] on Friday, 07 December, 2012 at 15:19 (03:19 PM) UTC.

Description
Streams of molten rock are gushing from a newly erupting volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula of the Russian Far East. The Tolbachik Volcano sprung to life last week, issuing lava flows and blasting ash and steam high into the air. New lava erupted by the volcano covered parts of a landscape shaped by a dramatic 1975-1976 eruption. The new flows engulfed a series of buildings in two scientific research camps. The flanks of Tolbachik split on Nov. 27, giving rise to a line of spectacular lava fountains. From these fountains arose streams of yellow-hot rock that cooled enough to form a moving wall of partially molten lava. Images posted on the website of a Russia volcano observatory showed the fountaining lava, the fast-flowing lava streams and the steep wall of bulldozing lava. Some of the images showed the thick, slow-moving flows covering young forest in a snow-covered landscape. The flows reached at least 10 km from the vents that were the site of eruption, according to the Smithsonian website. The style of the Tolbachik eruption, known as a fissure eruption, resembled those of Iceland, East Africa, Sicily's Mount Etna, even Hawaii, rather than the more dramatic, dangerous blasts epitomized by Mount Saint Helens and Mount Pinatubo in the 20th century. Fissure eruptions typically yield basalt, a dark, heavy lava, rather than the lighter lava and ash characterizing volcanoes given to massive explosive eruptions. The 1975-76 eruption of Tolbachik also began as a fissure eruption, giving rise to the largest historical eruption of basalt anywhere in Kamchatka.

Lake Taupo
...The 180 eruption was one of the largest in recorded history. The skies and sunsets formed from this eruption were noted by Roman and Chinese observers. Any possible climatic effects of the eruption would have been concentrated on the southern hemisphere due to the southerly position of Lake Taupo. Underwater hydrothermal activity continues near the Horomatangi vent, and the volcano is currently considered to be dormant rather than extinct.

I’m curious to hear Bruce’s take on the NZ 6.3 quake.

I did a quick overlay of the current quake with Bruce’s older image of the 10 year history of TVZ quakes (I believe it was only shallow quakes however). The location of the new quake is annotated by a large orange dot.

See image below (perhaps lurking could make it viewable to all).

I’m not one to make sense of this or try to interpret it. I could add some very light and non-scientific speculation if there were data on deep quakes, but I’m not sure how to get that information on the NZ Geonet.

i don't think there's much doubt that VERY deep EQs directly under a caldera, pumping very hot magma from the mantle into a cooler already existing magma chamber is HOW these things get going.

it's what happened at Krakatoa. magmas mixed, and kerblammo!

if there are any more quakes here, at similar or even at shallower depths, start learning how to kiss your butt goodbye

...The scientists estimate that the horizontal reservoir of magma, called a sill, measures 7.5 by 5.5 km, and sits about 5 km underground. Not only is the sill growing, pushing up the earth above it, but its growth is also accelerating.

great new NASA shots

In these images, volcanic plumes—likely a combination of ash, water vapor, and other gases—apparently emerge from an east-west crack on the volcano surface. South of the plumes and the lava flow, multiple volcanic cones litter the surface of Tolbachik, casting shadows to the north in the low-angled sunlight.

Alaska burning: explosion near Eagle leads to mysterious geologic ground craters

Posted on December 8, 2012


December 8, 2012 – ALASKA - Residents in the Yukon River community of Eagle are excited about a mysterious geologic event that is emitting fire, steam and a sulfur smell. Yukon Charley Rivers National Preserve lead Interpretative Ranger Pat Sanders says it all started on Sept. 27. An explosion was heard, in Eagle, which is rare so of course we were interested,” Sanders said. Sanders says on Oct. 10, a fire was spotted about 2 miles up the Tatonduk River, known locally as Sheep Creek. She says the fire spread to about 15 acres. “And on the 15th of October we had snow and the fire was still going although it appeared to be emitting steam and there was a sulfur smell,” Sanders said. No one has been on the ground there yet, but over-flight photographs reveal a slumping area that is steaming and looks a lot like a mini volcano crater. Sanders says the area is about 25 miles Northeast of Eagle and it’s located on Doyon land. She says both NPS and USGS geologists suspect it is a shale oil rock deposit. Sanders says the area has two slumping craters that cover about a five acre area. “It’s been really interesting to watch because it’s still steaming and still burning but if it is indeed oil shale as USGS suspects, oil shale and sulfur, it could be as deep as a thousand feet which means it could have been burning for some time from a lightning strike years ago and it’s been burning underground and finally burned enough to cause a slump or a crater like depression in the earth so until we actually get boots on the ground and we don’t know when that’s going to happen, we’re not going to know,” Sanders said. Sanders says it’s difficult to tell from the hazy aerial pictures, but the craters appear to be as deep as 150 to 200 feet and she says there has been significant slumping since it was first observed. She says the Hard Luck Creek fault is in the area and is an active fault. USGS geologist Marti Miller says it’s more likely to be burning oil shale not a burning coal seam. “But we’re fairly confident that it’s not a hot spring or some other type of volcanic related incident,” Miller said, which will be disappointing news to Pat Sanders in Eagle. “Of course everyone in Eagle is hoping it’s going to be a thermal event and we’ll end up with a hot springs but maybe that’s just because it was 45 below last week,” Sanders said. NPS geologist Linda Stromquist says, although they would like to examine the site sooner, at this point in the year it is probably prudent to wait until better weather and daylight conditions improve, toward spring. –Alaska Public [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]
