WHAT IS HAPPENING AT WHITE ISLAND VOLCANO??? New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 10233844  New Zealand09/02/2012 10:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: WHAT IS HAPPENING AT WHITE ISLAND VOLCANO??? New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH Mayor Island is an infrequently active bush covered volcano sitting quietly in the Bay of Plenty, offshore from Waihi. It is about 4 km in diameter and is dominated by a caldera (collapse crater). Since activity began, about 130 000 years ago there have been atleast 52 eruptions –a minimum of once every 3000 years. Exact timing of the most recent eruptions is unclear although some lava flows are thought to be about 500 to 1000 years old. Volcanologists find Mayor Island interesting because it has a very diverse history of eruption styles including fire fountaining, lava domes and very explosive eruptions from contact with water. Although it is in a dormant state, it is regarded as active and a large eruption could affect the mainland with ash fall as well as a tsunami hazard. [link to www.gns.cri.nz] |

At 9.26am on Wednesday, September 26, a million New Zealanders will take part in a unique earthquake drill, Mark Benthien, organiser of The Great ShakeOut predicts. He says it will be “the first ShakeOut drill held nationwide in any country.” A month later, similar exercises will take place in the US, Canada and southern Italy. “Official rescue teams who have been dispatched to the scene of earthquakes and other disasters around the world continue to advocate use of the internationally recognised ‘Drop, Cover and Hold On’ protocol to protect lives during earthquakes” says the ShakeOut website. DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!), Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops. “If there isn’t a table or desk near you, drop to the ground in an inside corner of the building and cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. Do not try to run to another room just to get under a table.” [link to nimblenoms.blogspot.co.nz] |

New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH Whanau have told TangataWhenua.com that they have noticed other interesting geothermal activity. Wally Lee a Trustee for the Tuhourangi Maori Authority mentioned that Waikete geyser had “roared” back to life in recent weeks, and that korero from the past suggested that during the 1886 Tarawera eruption, thermal activity too had increased. He said that the raise was attributed to pressure building underground, similar to what they had heard happening at Ketetahi Springs at Tongario. Geologists have also pointed to disappearing crater lakes, similar to the ocean breathing in minutes before a tsunami as a precursor to volcanic activity. Te Moananui Rameka a who guides for Pure Ora Walks, the only Maori concession holder, who guide the Crossing and provide cultural interpretations, began seeing tohu around December, he and his team had noticed increased geothermal activity around Ketetahi Springs, including the rapid lowering of the Emerald Lakes and new geysers being born and had passed this information onto others. He felt that this was a tohu, a reminder and sign from both Tongariro and Ruamoko that people should not take the maunga for granted. Interesting then that GNS scientists say the eruption came as a “total surprise” and that “volcanos” don’t speak to each other, but we’d disagree and whanau believe if they had a more holistic perspective they too would have seen the signs.

The torsion on this zone – pushed east in the north and west in the south is what creates both our earthquakes and our land.

Nurhuda said the ash fell over several sub-districts in Bandarlampung, about 130 kilometers away from Anak Krakatau. “It is rather unusual for the dust to be this thick,” said Juniardi, a resident of Bandarlampung who complained that the falling dust was also hampering visibility. Officials warned that the ash posed health hazards and asked local residents to wear masks when going outdoors or driving motorcycles. “We also advise fishermen and tourists not to come within a radius of 3 kilometers of Anak Krakatau. The thick plumes of smoke sent off by Krakatau contain toxic material that is hazardous for your health,” said Andi Suhardi, head of the Anak Krakatau observation post in Hargo Pancuran village. A report from the volcanology office in Bandung shows that the activity of Anak Krakatau has been on the rise over the past few days, reaching almost 90 eruptions per day. Nurhuda said the report showed the volcano spewed red hot lava up to 300 meters above its peak. “More than 100 volcanic quakes and tremors have been recorded,” he added. Anak Krakatau, or child or Krakatau, about 130 kilometers west of Jakarta, was created by the same tectonic forces that led to the 1883 Krakatoa eruption that killed tens of thousands of people. –Jakarta Post [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com] |

New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH September 2, 2012 – KAMCHATKA – A larger explosive eruption occurred at Bezymianny volcano in Kamchatka yesterday evening (1 Sep) around 19h15 GMT. The explosion produced an ash cloud rising to about 10 km altitude (flight level 340) and was first detected by Tokyo VAAC who sent out an ash-cloud aviation warning (major intercontinental routes pass this area). The ash plume is rapidly drifting west and has already reached hundreds of kilometer length. As of today (2 Sep), the eruption of the volcano is gradually finishing, but ash plumes are extending more 370 mi (600 km) to the east-north-east of the volcano. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft. According to seismic data by KB GS RAS, the eruption began at 19:16 UTC on September 01, 2012. According to visual data, ash plumes rose up to 32,800 – 39,400 ft (10-12 km) a.s.l. at 19:30 UTC on September 01. According to seismic data, an explosive phase of eruption continued till 19:45 UTC on September 01, and later there was a volcanic tremor was registered about 2 hours. There is no ash near Bezymianny volcano now, but ash plumes are extending to the east-north-east of the volcano about 550-600 km of the volcano (MTSAT at 2132 UTC on September 01). –Volcano Discovery [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com] |

New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH this is what tarn noticed, and took screen shots of.. Why the difference between these two images of the RSAM/SSAM plot on White Island...no apparent change in scale but there is clearly a big change in the reported decibel levels.. Quoting: taniatarn here is plot from yesterday.. [link to images.trademe.co.nz] and here is the same plot today..still at scale 20,000 but somehow decibel levels are now showing lower... [link to images.trademe.co.nz] Whats that all about Geonet??? Trying to downplay the tremor....?  |

New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH is activity here increasing again.. ngauruhoe seismo drum (which showed the tongariro activity last time) [link to www.geonet.org.nz] The tremor is continuing to climb on White Island again today...looking promising for an eruptive episode. Quoting: taniatarn Also interesting to note.... The two seismic drums in the picture below are located on our Volcanoes Tongariro and Ngauruhoe( which is a vent of Tongariro ). When volcanic activity is happening on Tongariro, Ngauruhoe( Oturere ) drum wil also pick it up. But as you can see by the difference in the earthquake readings from Tongariro the scale is set much higher on Tongariro so its readings look smaller. They do not however pick up each others weather readings at all. So when its showing windy on Ngauruhoe the Tongariro drum will still look quiet and vice versa. However, it is quite clear when looking at the two drum illustrations taken from today...there is a tremor of some description showing on both drums..... [link to imageshack.us] ( i have outlined the areas to compare )...it is definitely not weather related and would be much more interesting to look at if they would reduce the scale on the Tongariro drum to the same as Ngauruhoe....but it is definitely there and a sign that TOngariro is nowhere near going back to sleep... hiya tarn i agree!! Hi ya! Was just coming to post this on your thread as well....that tremor is Tongariro is really exciting...shows there some activity going on underneath.. yeah did you notice there were quite a few quakes showing on the central plateau seismos yesterday.. |

New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH 4. SUBMARINE VOLCANOES NORTH OF WHITE ISLAND Only about 125 km north-east of the Bay of Plenty coast of the North Island , New Zealand, just beyond the 2000 metres depth contour, lies Whakatane Seamount (Figure 1, 2). Fresh andesite lava has been dredged by DSIR’S Oceanographic Institute from this locality. Further inshore towards New Zealand, there are numerous seamounts, some of which show signs of recent activity. Of particular interest is Mahina Knoll (Figure 2), about 20 km north-west of White Island, which shows evidence of a recent partial collapse, and has yielded dredge samples of dacite and andesite. 5. SUBMARINE VOLCANOES IN THE NGATORO BASIN AND SOUTH-WEST OF COLVILLE RIDGE Basaltic lavas, which appear to be very young, have recently been dredged from the eastern slope of the Ngatoro Basin (Figure 2). Little or no sediment covers them, and it is clear that they must have been erupted very recently. The Ngatoro Basin is a tensional feature, possibly a rift structure, and an entirely different tectonic environment to that of the stratovolcanoes to the east. Finally, north-west of the Ngatoro Basin, at the south-west end of the Colville Ridge (Figure 2) is a group of submarine volcanoes, believed recently active. This group is aligned with Mayor Island, close to the New Zealand coast, which is a dormant volcano that characteristically erupts an unusual variety of rhyolite. [link to www.gns.cri.nz] |

New Zealand/Kermadec & South Pacific QUAKE/VOLCANO WATCH cool video [link to www.teara.govt.nz] The deep, rough seabed between the Colville and Kermadec ridges (north of New Zealand) is known as the Havre Trough. Here the seabed is slowly being pulled apart – the ridges are moving away from each other. The older Colville Ridge has extinct volcanoes, while the younger Kermadec Ridge has many active volcanoes. This video clip shows the shape of several submarine volcanoes, derived from detailed bathymetric surveys. |
