The Savage Earth: Earthquakes and Volcanos

[lighthouse]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/1999/supervolcanoes.shtml

And it would devastate the planet. Climatologists now know that Toba blasted so much ash and sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere that it blocked out the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to plummet. Some geneticists now believe that this had a catastrophic effect on human life, possibly reducing the population on Earth to just a few thousand people. Mankind was pushed to the edge of extinction... and it could happen again.

I am more concerned about vanuata
the ones in hawaiil
lave built the islands and do not explode
but vanuata

http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/australia/vanuatu/vanuatu.html

Our church has missionaries in Vanuata. Praying for their safety.

[UrimThummim]

Wow. That's a lot of earthquakes. Is this more than are normal? Why do they seem to be all around the Pacific? Hmmm.

[Johnny_Ray]

I am new here but do you have this site

http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

It is a map of the whole world. The larger the circle, the bigger the quake. Red is within 24 hrs
Orange is 24 to 48 hrs
Yellow is within 2 weeks

[Architectlink]

Wow. That's a lot of earthquakes. Is this more than are normal? Why do they seem to be all around the Pacific? Hmmm.

We are actually at a lull right now in earthquakes.

At this time of year, we historically would have had 7 earthquakes over a magnitude of 7...and we have only had 4.

checking in today since it is 07/07/07--wow, what a year we have had.

I will update the earthquake history

Historically speaking, this is where we are with the earthquakes OVER 7 that I have been tracking since 1999

3,000 people flee spewing Indonesian volcano
Posted 4 hours 55 minutes ago

Some 3,000 people have fled the slopes of an Indonesian volcano after it spewed ash, smoke and other volcanic debris.

"Up until today, some 3,000 people from eight villages on the slopes of Gamkonora have left their homes for safer grounds," said Penta Libela, the deputy district chief of West Halamahera on the island where the volcano lies.

Mount Gamkonora, about 2,700 kilometres north-east of the Indonesian capital Jakarta, was placed on a level three alert on Monday, one level below the top warning which signals an imminent eruption.

Ash and smoke shot up as high as two kilometres from the peak on Monday and has since soared a kilometre into the air.
