Volcano erupts in western Burma


January 8, 2008 - A volcano erupted in Sai Chung Island east of Kyawk Phyu town in Burma's western Arakan state last Saturday. Villagers have fled their village local villagers said.

A local resident told Mizzima that a mud volcano, known as Sai Chung volcano, located on the Sai Chung Island east of Kyawk Phyu town in Arakan state of Burma erupted on Saturday at about 11:45 a.m (local time) sending rocks, tongues of fire, lava and smoke up into the air prompting residents to flee their homes.

Is this normal??? Three erupting volcanoes at once??? hmmmm....

[tygerkittn]

Have there been a lot of Yellowstone earthquakes lately? It seems that way.

that many
volcanoes are not normalsome quakes are the result of the movement of lava

Ecuador residents bracing for major volcanic eruption


QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuador’s Tungurahua volcano is ready for a major eruption, a volcanologist said yesterday. Authorities last week evacuated 10 villages from its western slopes as a precaution.

Patricia Mothes, a U.S. expert on volcanoes, said that the 16,575-foot volcano, 80 miles southeast of Quito, “is preparing to generate, in days or weeks, a great eruption.” She said that could mean pyroclastic flows — volcanic materials “that descend at high speeds and burn everything in their way.”

lighthouse is it snowing down by you sorry if off track but there was another thread with that question of how often it snows in S. Fl. there is one other question about the yellowstone quakes 1/10 was at a depth of 5.8km. the quakes on 1/9 were at 7.2km and 7.5 km then on 1/6 at 5.4 km this is all very close in depth and I read that the lava was about 10km under the earth could this be the magma moving to the top or just moving around ??? thanks:hat:thinking
