Potential Volcanic Erruption in Costa Rica | |
BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 381742 United States 01/22/2010 11:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cool Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

There are fears that the volcano there may be ready to erupt and emergency crews are already showing up... Quoting: The BossThe latitude of Haiti and Costa Rica are very close...Haiti is 10 degrees and Costa Rica is 19 degrees. I don't have a verifiable source right now but I'll investigate. its kicking off |

The Boss (OP) User ID: 191933 United States 01/22/2010 11:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw someone on twitter saying there have been tremors in Costa Rica, but it is not on USGS, so what is going on? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 856948[link to earthquake.usgs.gov] That site shows that nearby Seismographic stations have received data within the last 10 minutes. I still can't find more on Costa Rica. I know there are better sites out there than what I'm finding with searches. Maybe someone can lend a hand here...

Experts are keeping a very close eye on the Turrialba volcano activity with the increase in the emanation of gases such as helium, sulphur and carbon dioxide. There have been important changes in the behaviour of the colossus and as such they have decided to maintain the yellow alert indefinitely. The experts haven't ruled out the presence of lava in the volcano, but prefer not to alarm the population by speaking on the subject. The Cicanum helium measurement is reported to be a concentration of 20 parts per million, short of the highest ever measured at the volcano in the past of 30 ppm. The measurements suggest the possibility of a "magmatic intrusion", the rise of molten rock into the earth's crust. For the time being, experts continue measuring gas emanations from the volcano and are reluctant to speculate on the possibility of an eruption despite the increased concentrations of helium in the recent days |
