Hi all, Satellite imagery and radar imagery show an eruption cloud to over 50000 ft at Anatahan volcano north of Saipan and Guam in the Mariana Islands. This...
Anatahan has been abandoned since first signals of seismic activity/sulfur smell in 1993. However, people did come to and from the island until 2003...but no...
Hi all Mount Talang has started rumbling as authorities evacuated thousands from its vicinity, knowing the number of evacuees is likely to rise. 25000 have...
Here is a question, of which I am fairly sure of the answer, but wanted to run it by others: Since most likely the magma chambers of these various volcanoes (I...
Hi all After big earthquakes, the segment of the Earth's interior near the epicentre is a bit like a coke bottle that has been shaken up. It is primed or least...
Hmm, I don't know. I appreciate your response and any others that come, but I don't think so. Quakes and volcanoes, while interesting geologically, aren't ...
The one thing that volcano's and earthquakes have in common are plate tectonics - look at the ring of fire and the plates though that area. It isn't a...
*Raises hand* Now, see THIS is why *I* plan on getting my master's in Volcanology and (maybe?) Seismology and another friend is gonna get her's in Seismology...
I'm all for it, Nicole! Best of luck in finishing up, and I can't wait to see the papers. I still don't think that a quake (not talking about magmatic movement...
First of all, please do let me say that I am not a professional. However, I don't think that you can try the all or nothing view of volcanoes and earthquakes....
Hi all Good points from all corners. Keep them coming. If you go to World Earthquakes (which I also own), there was a debate in February 2003 that dealt with...
Hi all Interesting observation: the scientist interviewed says he thinks that the earthquakes were responsible for the awakening of these volcanoes. ...
I just want to say I am really enjoying the conversation, even though I have
nothing to add, I am just learning, but I am here and reading!! I am also
HIGHLY...
Hey Rob, I got (actually "had"...cant repost) an email from Andrew Tupper of the Darwin VAAC that may answer your last question. He mentioned that Anak...
I realize you think I'm not being fair here, but the physical nature of quakes and volcanoes force this conclusion (I welcome comments by volcanologists). I ...
... on the flip side -- it was a 5.4 quake at 8:13am with in 5 miles of the summit of Mt. St. Helens that started that eruption. One never knows TIM...
First off, Kathleen, you mentioned something about a quake in California, not releaving stresses but actually making them worse...that is..partially accurate....
Actually, considering the question of whether volcanoes can lie on fault lines, there is at least one very interesting example. It wasn't on a fault line, but...
No, I don't think you're being "unfair" - I think you just don't get it. You're trying to bend reality to fit your beliefs - oh, if the volcano is erupting...
Hi all Dean, and all. I want to direct you to a book called "Fire Mountains of the West", by Stephen Harris. It deals with the entire Cascade Range and Mono...
nicole - since you and i seem to have the same interest in volcanology and earthquakes (plus their connection), i'm going to offer an idea that i just had. ...
Hi al Cool conversation. Keep going - one thing though... I have to introduce a new rule to make sure that this place keeps ticking over easily. Nothing major...
Welcome Jennifer! I'm sure I speak for everyone when we welcome you to the list, and look forward to your posts! ... nicole - since you and i seem to have the...
You are absolutely correct, the earth is one huge puzzle, but the pieces move four dimensionally, not in three. All of these things - tectonic pressure, ...
Hi Jennifer: I really like your ideas. Yes, magma is a fluid, but it is so very thick that moving waves through it are very different than moving waves...
Okay, I quite frankly dismissed time simply because geologically, the time we experience is nothing compared to the age of our planet and the time it has taken...
Sigh...there is no supposed cork, it is a REAL THING, and the pressure has to build to the point where it will break it. The plug is made of thick lava left ...
