How do we know it’s unprecedented?
For how long have we been keeping records?
Probably a few hundred million years less than these
things have been erupting I reckon.
I’d make good musical.
I'm sure the science is settled, let me check with bill nye.
There are about 1500 volcanoes on land, and an unknown number in the oceans.
Fourty doesn’t seem to be so many.
It’s not. Snyder either mistakenly out of ignorance or purposely out of greed, misinterprets the actual data.
Michael Snyder is a crank with absolutely no scientific background and whose only interest is in selling books and prepper supplies on his website and pimping his blog all over the place including here, and this “unprecedented” volcano story he’s been pushing for years now, among other alarmist articles like all the sea life is dying in the Pacific because of Fukushima, has been debunked numerous times.

And while earth quakes and volcanic eruptions kill and injure many and destroy property and my heart goes out to the victims of such disasters, in truth, when the time comes that this geologic activity stops completely, that is actually THE very bad sign.
Not only would plate tectonics (the force that drives earthquakes, causes the earth’s plates to move slowly over time, and also creates new and uplifts existing mountain ranges) and volcanism stop, but more importantly the earth would lose its magnetic shield.
When that happens anyone still around on planet Earth will wish for the days of earthquakes and volcanoes.
Our planet will be dead and so will we.
The tidal forces of sun and moon guarantee that volcanic action will occur on Earth. The numbers of volcanoes today are by no means unprecedented. The earth is not “settling down” with age. As the eons go by and the moon moves closer to the Earth count on volcanoes being a part of the environment. It should get pretty spectacular around the time that the moon reaches Roche’s limit.

The record of the very first volcanic eruptions, that occurred about 4500 years ago, are recorded in Genesis.
Those eruptions severed Pangea into a half dozen separate continents.
