Ashes are ejected from the crater of the Shiveluch volcano in Kamchatka to a height of up to 2,000 m. The height of the ejection above sea level exceeded 5,000 m.
The seismic stations near the volcano register underground tremors from a depth of up to 5,000 m and interrupted spasmodic volcanic vibration.
For the greater part of the past 24 hours it was impossible to conduct video observation of Shiveluch because of bad weather but scientists hold the view that some ejections are accompanied by fragmentation avalanches.
Shiveluch (its height is 3,283 m) is now at the stage of active eruption
Possible side effects of the recent quake?
Is the media going to cover this for 2 weeks while nothing happens, or are they going to cover it and then refer back to it as it develops? Just wondering.
It's Bush's fault.
Don't mess with Mother Nature.
Uh oh, sky is falling too!!!
Okay, I'll be the first to expose my ignorance. Where is this located?
Is Mt St Helen's behaving?
That wouldnt surprise me one bit.
On a similiar thread last night I remarked that the big quake followed a similar event near Antartica by only a few days. Now this....
The "Ring of Fire" could be warming up big time.
The recent quake shoved a large piece of the mantle in far enough to speed the planet's rotation by 3 microseconds... I would think that pressure would have to be let off somewhere. I do not know if it is the same plate. It is more likely we are seeing patterns in coincidence.
No. The volcanos in that region on both sides of the Pacific are very active and have been for many years. That there are constant volcanic eruptions in Alaska and Siberia isn't news because nobody lives there.
Tell that to the guys in the boat.
:o)
So, if this one blows do we get a Tsunami on the west coast?
Cool... That will make for some lovely sunsets here in the So. Cal.
I don't know....
oh no, not this $%^& again....
By my count on the USGS web site, there are currently ten active volcanoes on the Kamchatka Penninsula. It seems like one or more of them are erupting at any given time.
