Ring of Fire Awakens: Pacific Megaquake First Sparked Tsunami, Now Eurasia’s Tallest Volcano Erupts
Discern Report ^ | July 31, 2025 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 07/31/2025 6:23:15 AM PDT by Red Badger

A tsunami triggered by a massive underwater earthquake off the eastern coast of Russia, impacting Hawaii, Alaska, and the U.S. West Coast in the overnight hours, has now led to the eruption of Eurasia’s highest and most active volcano, located on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Russian media Tass News said the 8.7 magnitude earthquake that struck off Russia’s Kamchatka was the “largest earthquake since 1952.” It cited the Russian Academy of Sciences, which now says the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano has begun to erupt shortly after the quake.

“Right now, Klyuchevskaya Sopka is erupting,” the Russian federal agency wrote in the post with an accompanying photograph of the volcano’s eruption.

Key facts about Klyuchevskaya Sopka:

Height: 4,750 meters (15,580 feet)

Type: Stratovolcano (steep-sided and symmetrical)

Location: Eastern Kamchatka, part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire”

Volcanic activity: One of the most active volcanoes in the world, with frequent eruptions recorded since the 17th century

Last eruption: Ongoing activity is common, with the most recent eruptions typically occurring every few years

Formation: Estimated to have formed about 7,000 years ago More footage of the eruption:

Both the tsunami-triggering quake and the volcanic eruption stem from tectonic movements along the Pacific Ring of Fire, particularly the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Okhotsk Plate. This suggests a major stress release event in the Earth’s crust.

This kind of event cluster in rapid succession could indicate a larger regional stress redistribution, raising the risk of additional quakes or eruptions in adjacent fault lines or volcanoes (e.g., in the Aleutians, Kuril Islands, or even Japan).

Raising taxes should quell the eruptions pronto!...............

Cue the progressive doomsayers in Salem etc. on the ‘big one’ (cascadia) threat.

Irony: They’ve done NOTHING to prepare other than studious focus on applying for federal aid. Even the tsunami zone signs on the coast are a clusterfoxtrot, failing to highlight evacuation routes and putting people right in hazard areas.

These idiots STILL highlight the ‘9.0’ to hit Portland despite the public reality of 2011’s Tohoku shake zones and the glaring lack of extreme shake damage inland from said quake.

It’s all about dipping into $$ post-disaster, i.e., the 1906 lesson which frames all CA disaster responses (including the latest example: Palisades). Other leftist states - OR & WA included - watch with envy as OR now positions to profit from the WIC (Wildfire Industrial Complex) and all manner of skimming off the top.

But nobody knows where it went.........Least of all the victims..........

I wonder if Sarah Palin can see that volcano from her back deck.

This is one majorly active volcano. The Wikipedia page is an interesting read and has already been updated to include this event.

Yup. Newsom got a taste.

It will prove to kill his prospects for national office, if his other transgressions were not already enough.
