Dec. 6 (UPI) -- As Hawaii's Mauna Loa and neighboring Kilauea volcanos simultaneously erupt, drawing worldwide attention, geologists are seeing increased volcanic activity across the globe.

Currently, there are 47 volcanoes around the world that are in "continuing eruption status," according to the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program. That is more than double the normal number of what are called "continuing" volcanic eruptions, which are intermittent eruptions without a break of more than three months.

Most of the continuously erupting volcanos are clustered around what is called the "Ring of Fire," which circles the Pacific Ocean. According to the United States Geological Survey, most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur where the Pacific Plate meets many surrounding tectonic plates. The "Ring of Fire" is the most seismically and volcanically active zone in the world.

Let me guess. This is somehow caused by climate change. Was I right?

Geological processes, and climate, are in perpetual flux.
Always have been, always will be.

We need to sacrifice more Virgins. The Gods must be appeased.

Caused by MAGA.

Is this true, or are our sensors and global coverage just now sophisticated enough to notice every rumble, burp and cough from Mother Erf?

It could well be that a lot of activity simply wasn’t known or recognized in the past.

The Earth is reacting to too-low CO2 levels? /s

Same issue with the news.....when someone farts in Myanmar, we know about it 5 minutes later....

Its likely as true as the lefts false claims that “hurricanes are I creasing g in strength and numbers”

[teeman8r]

as the green house gases increase earth’s temperature, the lava in the basement heats up and expands spewing more C02 into the atmosphere, all because of man.

Countdown to the end times! The sooner, the better.

God destroyed the Earth the first time with water. The next time will be with fire.

All this could have been avoided if the US had signed the Kyoto Protocols!
