Antarctica and its Volcanism and Vostok | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 7205725 Australia 01/13/2012 10:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of the volcanoes, only Erebus remains active. At 3794 meters, Mount Erebus is the highest point on Ross Island and the largest, most active volcano on the Antarctic continent. It is almost always observed with a cloud of vapor rising from its summit crater. Much eruptive and seismic activity has been observed, including ejections of volcanic bombs as much as 8 meters across. At the summit, a l00-meter-deep outer crater about 650 meters across contains a similarly deep inner crater about 250 meters across, in which lies a lake of red, molten lava.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 865798 United States 01/13/2012 11:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The craters of Mount Erebus were first visited in March 1908 by members of Shackleton's expedition, who initially noted the "vast abyss" filled with great masses of steam that rose in a column 150 to 300 meters high. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7205725 During a brief clearing, they observed the crater and noted the steam explosions issuing from three well-defined openings at the bottom of the high cauldron. As recorded in the book by Shackleton (1909) the party also observed around the summit area "lumps of lava, large feldspar crystals, from one to three inches in length, and fragments of pumice; both feldspar' and pumice were in many cases coated with sulfur."

Quoting: SickScent Things look as if they are heating up. It is NOT global warming that is melting the ice sheets...it is volcanic activity. The Great Flood? Two British researchers contend that a volcano violently erupted around 2,000 years ago and blew a large hole through the ice sheet in West Antarctic at around the year 207 B.C., and scientists confirm it was the largest volcanic eruption in Antarctica over the last 10,000 years.

A few months, a year tops ? Quoting: subzero86 And what do you think it will be ? Economical, WW3, earthquake, volcano, ET ? The most rational answer is economic. WW3, I have heard mixed theories on that one. The main concern with WW3 is the death toll that may take place. EQ's are, overall, too isolated. We can have something like over in Japan, and we can say the tipping point has already been reached over there. A big volcano can really fuck things up. ET - some have already reached that tipping point. See what I'm getting at? Everything is a process of events. Will the overall event happen in one fell swoop? I don't think so. Maybe, but every event will be staggered. The only one that really isn't is the sun knocking out the grid. But, I think that all the events will be varied per area and person, but will all take place within the span of one generation. The least traumatic way to make the leap, is to do it as a process. I imagine that is what is going to be most desired. |

It's said that if you throw a frog in a pot filled with boiling water, the frog will jump out immediately, without sustaining any injuries ! But if you place a frog in a pot filled with cold water and place it on a stove and gently raise the temperature of the water, the frog will stay there and die ! All of these changes seem to come gradually and I'm afraid that many of us will not be sensitive enough to notice that "the boiling point" is approaching. Perhaps if these events were to happen at a faster pace, more of us will awaken and realize the danger... |

If we are eternal, and have life upon life to get it right, why does there need to be a 'faster' pace if it may be damaging to the spirit? From what I have gathered, we damaged the spirit through trauma before...and it takes many, many, many reincarnations just to get back to the place where the spirit was at prior to being traumatized. Perhaps, it will all take place when divinely ready. |

The fact that Erebus has been continually erupting for hundreds, if not thousands, of years indicates that it is NOT the source of recent melting. Anthropogenic warming seems to be ongoing and accelerating. Reject the idea at your peril. Adding volcanic heat & gasses will only make things worse, but volcanoes are still a minor contributor. Good attempt at distraction though, 5 stars for that. |
