Potential Volcanic Erruption in Costa Rica

Cool

Very potential DOOM factor. ALL eyes.

I just spoke to this guy and he says you're full of it.

its kicking off

Which volcano? They have dozens.

Nope, being serious. What's that damn site that shows live EQ activity?

He said Rincón de la Viej. But that's not verifiable. He's not a native to the area so I'm only putting stock into the fact that he knows that they are trembling and has heard that emergency crews and locals are worried about volcanic activity.

I was in Costa Rica a few years ago when a Volcano blew (not Arenal). It wasn't a fun situation. At least Rincón de la Viej isn't near a major city center.

Yeah he said they were just tremors, but being new to the area he may be over reacting. I can't find much on it now on the web. I don't appear to have all my doom research tools available to me at the moment.

I saw someone on twitter saying there have been tremors in Costa Rica, but it is not on USGS, so what is going on?

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...

Arenal is in yellow

Arenal is an active volcano and is always spewing something. There is a nice resort below it, but that's pretty much it for that area. So it's common for Arenal to be yellow, orange, red, etc...

Well I'm not finding any news online about this. I'll see if I can get an update on it from him in a bit...

There one shown up here [link to www.emsc-csem.org]

Curiously no one seems to remember that this time a year ago there were a total of twenty one volcanoes erupting. Yesterday when I checked at RSOE they have nearly fifty volcanoes erupting right now.

You peeps are slowing down on keeping good track of the present doom.

Where are you getting this from? I see the status as still yellow? Has it changed to orange?

Take your pick:

Volcanoes of Costa Rica - John Seach


The volcanic arc in Costa Rica developed as a result of
subduction of the Cocos plate under the Caribbean plate.

Costa Rica lies close to 5 tectonic plates - Caribbean, Panama, Nazca, Cocos, and Atlantic.

I'd bet on Turrialba, but it could be any of them.

COSTA RICA


Turrialbla Volcano Spews Out Helium, Forces Closure Of Two Schools. 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
