A powerful earthquake that struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29 has triggered a chain reaction of volcanic eruptions along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The 8.8 magnitude quake, followed by multiple aftershocks as strong as magnitude 6, appears to have reawakened long-dormant giants.
Klyuchevskaya Sopka erupted a day after the seismic event for the first time in 600 years.
Several other volcanoes, Shiveluch, Bezymianny, Karymsky and Avachinsky, have also roared back to life after roughly 300 years of dormancy.
Meanwhile, scientists have detected a thermal anomaly at Mutnovsky, indicating rising heat and suggesting an eruption may be imminent.
Ilias Papadopoulos, an engineering seismologist at the University of the West Indies, told the Daily Mail: 'I saw reports about [multiple volcanoes] erupting, which is a unique situation. Since the activity is dynamic, the numbers may change with time.
He added that while the region between Russia and Alaska is among the most seismically and volcanically active on Earth, the near-simultaneous activity of so many volcanoes is rare.
If more eruptions occur throughout the Ring of Fire, Papadopoulos said the risk to human life remains low, but added: 'It would for sure make for an exciting event.'
The Ring of Fire is a 25,000-mile horseshoe-shaped belt of volcanoes and fault lines that circles the Pacific Ocean, home to about 75 percent of the world's active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.
According to data from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the quake struck about 84 miles east-southeast of Kamchatka at around 7:24pm ET, making it the sixth strongest earthquake ever recorded.
It was also believed to be the most powerful quake anywhere on Earth in 14 years, since the 9.1-magnitude megaquake that struck northeastern Japan in 2011, leaving 19,747 people dead or missing.

I have a weather radar app that also shows wildfire and earthquake activity.
I was astounded by the earthquake reports, both how many there were and where they were.
As of July 26, 2025, the daily average concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere was 426.91 parts per million (ppm). This translates to approximately 0.0427% of the atmosphere.
Rounded .04%
So if multiple volcano's erupt how much Co2 will be released?
So if multiple volcano's erupt how much ash will be thrown in to the stratosphere?
So will we get cooled or heated up or super greened?
Sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn’t. There were no volcanoes triggered by the recent very large Japanese, Indonesian, or Chilean quakes.
It pretty much depends on the volcano. It has to be already ready to erupt.
Charles Hapgood’s crustal displacement theory, violent sudden crust movements are possible near the poles, Einstein agreed they were possible.
Saying the slow plate tectonic theory doesn’t always apply.
It’s all cracking open!!!
Much ado about nothing.
Dutchsince already said this
days ago. 😁
“Experts”
Thanks.
That was Nicely done.

My ears are still ringing from sitting in front of the speaker towers while he played Eruption. Reunion Arena in Dallas around 1979.
I regret not going to see VH before DLR was ousted.
I never did see them in concert.
One of the moderators on a site I am on said that the RUSSIA Earthquake would set off a trigger of stress quakes on the San Andreas Fault. Sure enough we had 3 quakes in the 3.6 range two nights ago...
It sets off an alarm on my computer.... I fully expect more soon.
"Klyuchevskaya Sopka erupted a day after the seismic event for the first time in 600 years."
Not true.
Klyuchevskaya Sopka has periodic eruptions, roughly every 5 years.
I never saw them after.
Birth Pangs.
Let her rip! What are we going to do about it? NOTHING!
