Major news: Iceland Bardarbunga volcano is "subsiding" (sinking) : center 183feet (56m), edges 24feet (8m)

[link to www.volcanodiscovery.com]
Update Fri 19 Dec 10:01

The eruption continues with little variation.
The Nornahraun lava field is now almost 80 square km in size. An extensive lava tube system has formed inside it, bringing supply of lava to the outer areas.

Subsidence of the Bardarbunga caldera continues at remarkably steady linear pace of approx. 50 cm per day.

1200 page ongoing thread

If they form a huge ash cloud and it drifts toward EU then nations with huge mechanized armies will have the advantage over those with air superiority only. The window of opportunity to take advantage a huge no fly area could last months or years.

Would this better be called an inruption rather than an eruption?

Thank you

But I thought the SUBSIDING was breaking news on its own.
This poses a big threat to Europe ...

Good catch !!!!
Smart thought ;)

^^^^^ You came up from berzerking & made a nice new thread but your awesome reaserch abilities and dot conecting skilz would be better of here!!!!!'

Not exactly,
but I like the remark :) ....inruption/implosion...

There is still eruption, but the lava mass is quickly streaming out ... faster then new lava is made.


The results of the melt of ice due to the heat of the subterranean lava-rivers and the lave-stream on surface is not only affecting the conditions of the above environment, but also changing the pressure and integrity of the rock/soil mountain itself.
It will affect the "push" on land and the counter-effect off-shore. When the weight on land changes, the depth of the sea-floor will increase as land will rise to lower weight-mass ...

So is it really that the Bardarbunga area is only sinking ??? Or is the land rising ???

I think both, but the land-rise will be a small part ... yet ... but this could change abruptly when a lot of ice-mass melts ...

This WAGE-EFFECT will not be reported in global media.

Tnx
You are free to copy any interesting dots to the other thread ;)

This stands alone from Bezerk.
Just found "the sinking" major news to just be lost in a big thread,
the sinking wasnt mentioned on itself on the forum to inform people and make them aware ;)
now people can go from this small thread to the big brother :D

i guess that makes sense, i follow the other thread and would have loved to see you show up there.

Not necessarily. All modern mechanized equipment have air filters, especially to protect against chemical weapons. The ash, if enough of it is ejected, would affect ground actions as well. If really significant, it could even stop soldiers from moving on foot, depending on what equipment they had, as really fine ash would cause lung damage, etc.

Personally, I'm expecting that some fishing villages near the eruption will be on mountain tops within 3 years...

go on.....

don't forget the intense winter

i wonder who THAT would favour?

If the caldera, so close to the border of two tectonic plates, destabilises the environmental pressure balance; might we not be seeing an event of mythic proportions, such as what left us with fishing-boat moorings on top of S.American mountains?

Hello AC Iceland
I am very happy with your comment.

You are right : "close to the border of two tectonic plates, destabilises the environmental pressure balance"

But for 'an event of mythic proportions' is more needed then this. Then we would need simultaneous explosive eruption Events on more then 1 meeting-point if tectonic plates.
This single event could indeed stress up and have effects as a result on other plates ... nothing stays local, everything is connected.

Compare it to 1 crack in an ice-plate ... but with several cracks on strategic places the whole ice-plate would become unstable and break-up into wobbly pieces, some even turn upside down becoz the top-weight is heavier then the mass beneath ...
After all tectonic plates are drifting on fluids just like ice does ...
The "erosion" on the bottom of tectonic plates is important in this all, how much it is weakened [for example with fracking and drilling] and washed away [like you see with sinkholes] or molten away by magma.

An explosive eruption of 1 or more volcanoes on the Icelandic plate would indeed cause differences in counter-weight and elasticity of the strata [pressure balance]. But not that much that would push up fishing-villages 500+ meters ;), for THAT simultaneous events must occur.

the mid atlantic ridge is divergent, the south american site you refer to is a convergent subduction zone.

bardabunga is deflating, the chamber is emptying and there will be no catastrophic event from this eruption.

It's dying.

really?

you do realise it's been confirmed mantle material is being erupted?

you think the mantle is emptying?

From THIS ONE ALONE no indeed.
And you are right that the kind of subduction-zone plays a role ...

But volcanic activity is NOT DYING ! Au-Contraire the volcanic activity globally is increasing at an astonishing rate !!!

Lately I read an article and saw a presentation about how much MORE ENERGY is transmitted to the Earth by solar-waves. In short : All that extra energy [watt/volt] is taken up by tectonic plates and other things. This plays a role in the release- and exchange-events like volcanic eruptions, EQ's, etc ...

(I try if I can find that info back)

And then ... there are planetary-events that can/could attribute to stability or instability ...

Confirmation:
Erupting Bardarbunga Volcano In Iceland Sits On A Massive ...
www.science20.com › ... › Geology › News Articles
24 okt. 2014 - Since August 31st, Bárðarbunga volcano in central Iceland has been ... to upwelling of hot, deeply sourced mantle material, or "mantle plumes.

[link to www.sciencedaily.com]

Bardarbunga Volcano is a Hot Spot:
A volcanic center, 60 to 120 miles across and persistent for at least a few tens of million of years, that is thought to be the surface expression of a persistent rising plume of hot mantle material.



Magma is produced always and ever, as long as our core is healthy ... It will never die out just like oil and water as long as we stay in the Goldylocks-zone ...

As our core slows down, more heat is able to travel upwards to the surface. This and other chemical reactions related with it transform into magma.

This in fact A MANTLE CAN NOT be EMPTIED ... but the distance of the solid rock above can become less or grow in thickness depending on the internal chemical reactions.

This is about the Antarctic but the information given is interesting and relevant ;)

Significant eruptions of Mount Erebus reported, Antarctica
[link to thewatchers.adorraeli.com]

Mount Erebus is one of several volcanoes in the McMurdo Volcanic Group which itself consists of Late Cenozoic intraplate alkaline volcanoes. It is also the world's southernmost historically active volcano, and the second highest volcano in Antarctica, after Mount Sidley.
There were 6 more significant eruptions on December 5

MEVO said there is no knowing if this will continue or it was just a one off. It does show, however, that gas is accumulating somewhere at depth and migrates to the lava lake as a big bubble where it bursts explosiviely sending volcanic bombs shooting above the lava lake and sometimes out onto the crater rim where people may be working.








Buttttt although this volcanic activity the Antarctic Ice is growing !!!

Wouldnt affect nations that have nuclear trump card.
Are you actually try to suggest that enemies of europe would try to invade countries that cant fly their airforce because of the ash??

I got RED KARMA for : For starting seperate Bardarbunga thread. The other is very up to date.


Yes I know,
but as I explained before: threads it was not explicit mentioned that the area of the volcano was sinking and subsiding so fast. I found it important that it was directly seen and noticed/could be read.

Surface-to-air missiles don't give a fuck, dude. Try again.

So basically, TRANSLATED.....they know nothing and covered all possible outcomes.

Some brilliant scientists there.
Maybe they should just flip a coin next time and call heads or tails for the outcome.

Even the Greenland-ice is growing !!!!
