Earthquake injures 700 in southern Iran
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI (AP) – 1 hour ago

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's state news agency says an earthquake has injured at least 700 people in the country's south.

IRNA reported Wednesday that 100 of the injured had been hospitalized while the rest were minor cases.

The 4.9-magnitude quake struck the southern port city of Bandar Abbas at 2:56 a.m. local time, cutting power and telephone lines and sending residents streaming into the streets.

The broadcast said there were no reports of deaths in the quake, which hit 850 miles (1,367 kilometers) south of the capital. Bandar Abbas is one of Iran's key ports and home to a large oil refinery that primarily serves the domestic market.

Iran is located on seismic fault lines and is prone to earthquakes.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A moderate earthquake hit southern Iran early Wednesday, injuring 269 people and cutting power and telephone lines, state radio reported.

State radio said residents of the southern port city of Bandar Abbas poured into the streets after the 4.9-magnitude quake hit at 2:56 a.m. local time Wednesday.

The broadcast said there were no reports of deaths in the quake, which hit 850 miles (1,367 kilometers) south of the capital. Bandar Abbas is one of Iran's key ports and home to a large oil refinery that primarily serves the domestic market.

Iran is located on seismic fault lines and is prone to earthquakes. It experiences at least one slight earthquake everyday on average.

Some 26,000 people were killed by a 6.6-magnitude quake that flattened the historic southeastern city of Bam in the same region in 2003.

The ice atop Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania has continued to retreat rapidly, declining 26 percent since 2000, scientists say in a new report.


need to check earthquake activity in the area??

Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the largest stratovolcanoes in the world

Volcanic conditions
While it is inactive, Kilimanjaro has fumaroles that emit gas in the crater on the main summit of Kibo. Scientists concluded in 2003 that molten magma is just 400 metres (1,310 ft) below the summit crater. Several collapses and landslides have occurred on Kibo in the past, one creating the area known as the Western Breach.
Recent studies suggest the last eruptions on the mountain were between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago.[15]



maybe this is just a sign it is reawakenng
hmmmm

While it is difficult to blame the ice melts in many places on "global; warming" since that has been discredited recently by temperature records there are other factors involved. The sun spot cycles change the mix of the energy spectrum being emitted and that could be a cause of more ice melting by better penetration to the ground of the changed solar spectrum output. But it could also be an atmospheric problem as well with more of the deeply penetrating rays being allowed through. This does make sense when you consider that the places where the heavy melting is occuring it is happening at the ice / ground interface with the water running off from under the ice. There is much more to the climate changing activities of man and nature than just a simple rise in temperature from greenhouse gasses

Saturday 7th November 2009
Piton de la Fournaise Volcano, Reunion
The short-lived eruption at Piton de la Fournaise volcano is over. For the first time since 2007, lava has flowed outside the crater. The lava flows were widely visible from the shore of Reunion, and by daybreak yesterday only fumaroles were active. Lava flows were no longer active and there was a gradual decrease in the intensity of volcanic tremor. From 5:30 pm on 5th November earthquakes occurred at a rate of one to two per minute, then at 7:30 pm a seismic crisis lasted for an hour, followed by a pause. Around 9 pm volcanic tremor signaled the start of the eruption. The volcano provided a spectacle with lava flows lighting up the sky and attracting attention motorists between St. Philip and Piton Sainte-Rose. Motorists traveling on the road were the first witnesses the lava flow and raise the alarm at 9:15 pm. They described mostly fountains and lava flows. The eruption consisted of multiple lava flows which moved rapidly down the slope. Two fissures appeared to have opened up on the east side near the summit. The police of Saint-Philippe encouraged motorists to be careful and not to park anywhere to watch the eruption. There were no road closures. Residents heard about the eruption on the radio and started to come, but the crowd was not large due to the time of the night. Between 11:10 and 11:15 pm, volcanic tremor had almost disappeared. Up until 12:30 pm about a hundred people stood at the foot of la rampe du Tremblet in the Grand Brûlé and observed the lava flows. On the morning of 6th November at 6:45 am a police helicopter flew over the area. The reconnaissance flight confirmed that two fractures opened between the south and east of the summit crater Dolomieu, which produced lava flows far from the road. The summary from the volcanologists is as follows: at 20.50, the eruption has started in the south cliff inside Dolomieu crater. At 21.05, the crack was extended and opened on the east-southeast near the crater rim of Dolomieu. At 21h20: a second crack opened on the eastern slope of the summit cone. Two lava flows were visible on the flanks of Piton de la Fournaise. The volcano has been plunged into a relative calm. The situation remains unstable. A second eruption may start at any time warned scientists from the volcano observatory.

Piton de la Fournaise Volcano, Reunion
An eruption commenced last night at Piton de la Fournaise volcano, Reunion Island. For the past several days seismic activity increased, with 167 earthquakes occurring at the volcano yesterday. The eruption occurred at Dolomieu crater with a lava fountain and a lava flow on the southeast slope.

Tuesday 3rd November 2009
Krakatau Volcano, Indonesia
Alert level at Krakatau volcano in Indonesia has been lowered from Siaga (Level III) to Waspada (Level II). Explosion earthquakes measured over the past few months were August 4311, September 541, and October 34. There has been a significant decline in eruptive activity at the volcano since August 2009. People are still advised to avoid landing on Anak Krakatau. Communities in the coastal areas of Banten and Lampung have been warned not to believe runours that the eruption Anak Krakatau will cause a tsunami. Fishing boats are permitted around Anak Krakatau.

Chaiten Volcano, Chile
The Mayor of Chaiten has said that some residents wish to return to the town which was destroyed by the eruptions in 2008-09. Residents are still displaced from the town 18 months after the eruption. There are many people still living in the surrounding area of Chaiten, and some assistance is being given to people still living in the town, such as supply of emergency water, provision of street lighting, and clearing of ash from the streets. Last week a tourism meeting was held in Futaleufu, Chile, near Chaiten town where the current state of Chaiten volcano was discussed. A scientist from National Service of Geology and Mining of Chile said that nothing can be predicted, only scenarios can be imagined. In the case of Chaitén, it is believed there is a high likelihood that the eruption is maintained for several more months. Tremors detected in the region of El Bolson are not associated with volcanic activity but are due to fracture of rock by Liquiñe-Ofqui tectonic fault. Along this fault are several active volcanoes such as Hudson, which erupted in 1991 with one of the most violent eruptions in the history of Chile. Chaiten volcano continues to erupt on RED alert, and Chaiten town remains an uninhabitable zone.

Lighthouse; Thank you for your interesting, informative, and worrisome postings.

Some scientists are now admitting that earthquakes are increasing in strength and frequency. This is something we have been observing for quite a while now but the volcanoligists are just getting around to agreeing with what we have been observing. When things start getting bad enough for the people who are in denial to come out and admit there is something to worry about then I start getting more worried.

Klyuchevskoy Volcano, Kamchatka, Russia
A lava flow has begun down the SE slope of Klyuchevskoy volcano in Kamchatka, after the crater overfilled. The volcano continued to throw red-hot rocks to a height of 200 meters above the crater. The current eruption started in August 2009 after several months of inactivity. The eruption started slow and the intensity is rapidly growing. Klyuchevskoy volcano started a new eruptive cycle on 15th February 2007. Volcanic ash from that eruption drifted over 500 km across the Bering Sea at a height of 8.7 km.

On a related noted, here's a brief excerpt from Wikipedia's article about Esfahan (a/k/a 'Isfahan):

Today Isfahan, the third largest city in Iran, produces fine carpets, textiles, steel, and handicrafts. Isfahan also has nuclear experimental reactors as well as facilities for producing nuclear fuel (UCF). Isfahan has one of the largest steel-producing facilities in the entire region, as well as facilities for producing special alloys.

It's a good thing that earthquake wasn't any closer to Esfahan!
