Another Volcano Erupts...Golapagos Island

[Loopy]

La Cumbre volcano on Fernandina island, one of the youngest in the archipelago, began erupting Sunday evening, Galapagos National Park (PNG) officials said in a statement.

 

The 1,467 metre high (4,813 feet) volcano has a crack along its south-eastern flank and "a lava flow descends to the coast", PNG added.

 

The island is home to a number of species including iguanas, penguins, flightless cormorants, snakes and an endemic rat, and has "very important" ecological value, PNG said.

 

Before the eruption, an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.7 was felt, according to the local Ecuadorian Geophysical Institute, followed by 29 aftershocks.

That’s about Four new eruptions around the world in about a week.    In case anyone else is counting.

Forgive my ignorance, I know nothing about volcanoes, but is this typically the amount of volcanic activity in the world? I know nothing is ‘normal’ in this time of the end, but I’ve seen 3 articles about volcanoes lately and it seems excessive to me.

Those familiar with Michael Janitch's earthquake updates know that eathquakes and volcanoes go hand in 

hand.  

 

Considering the large number of large eathquakes that have been experienced lately, I would say the

recent increase in volcanic activity (including inactive volcanoes reactivating) is to be expected.

 

Michael Janitch has discovered that a volcanic eruption releases incoming seismic force equivalent to a 5.0 earthquake.  

 

Some places experience the seismic force coming in as earthquakes, other areas disperse the force through a volcanic eruption.  Depends on where you live on the planet.

 

Some volcanic eruptions produce earthquake activity, if the magma is moving down below.

I would not rule out the documented magnetic polar drift having a substantial effect on these events.

That makes sense! I’ll check it out.
