GLOBAL VOLCANISM: Nicaragua's Momotombo Volcano Shaken By 300 Quakes In JUST ONE DAY - Volcano Hasn't Erupted In 108 Years!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">November 08, 2013 - NICARAGUA </span></b>- A seismic swarm in the Momotombo volcano in August claimed nearly 300 microearthquakes in a single day, more than twice as common tremors reported the same month, reported the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies (INET). <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IgxCGzSxCcE/UnzmzQajdHI/AAAAAAABNeU/yPp2_FqkD_U/s1600/momotombo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IgxCGzSxCcE/UnzmzQajdHI/AAAAAAABNeU/yPp2_FqkD_U/s1600/momotombo.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />According to the Monthly Bulletin of Earthquakes and Volcanoes of INET, the Momotombo swarm of microearthquakes caused 284 on August 17. The Momotombo, located north of Lake Managua, presented 524 microearthquakes between 16 and 18 August, according to the report. The microearthquakes are earthquakes with magnitudes less than the magnitude of 1.0 on the Richter scale, which are not perceived by the population. <br /><br />The swarm in August Momotombo volcano did not cause any damage in Nicaragua. Regarding the normal seismic activity, the INET recorded 177 tremors with a magnitude of 1.0 Richter or more, both on the Pacific Ocean, and in the volcanic chain and northern Nicaragua. <br /><br />The tremors under the Pacific Ocean were located off the coast of Corinto , Masachapa and The Small mouth, in the subduction zone, ie at the point of collision of continental plates Cocos and Caribbean, according to the report. The earthquakes in the volcanic chain were located in San Cristobal volcano, Masaya and Concepcion. <br /><br />The northern tremors occurred in the provinces of Estelí, Madriz, Nueva Segovia and the North Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAN). Most of the earthquakes, ie 54, had magnitudes between 3.0 and 3.9 Richter. <br /><br />Another 50 earthquakes showed a magnitude of between 2.0 and 2.9 Richter. The rest had magnitudes between 1.0 and 1.9 Richter, according to the bulletin. Nicaragua is considered a country with high frequency of earthquakes. 2,000 tremors occur each year on average, according to statistics from INET. - <a href="http://www.elnuevodiario.com.ni/nacionales/301372-enjambre-sismico-volcan-momotombo-causa-300-microsismos"><span style="color: orange;"><b>El Nuevo Diario</b></span></a>.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">November 08, 2013 - RUSSIA </span></b>- A remote Russian volcano may be readying for a new eruption, according to NASA's Earth Observatory.

GLOBAL VOLCANISM: Scientists State That Lake Toba's Dormant Supervolcano, Could Erupt At Any Time In Indonesia!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">November 06, 2013 - INDONESIA </span></b>- A dormant supervolcano lying beneath Lake Toba in Indonesia has the potential to erupt again, scientists have said.<br /><br />Geologists believe Mount Toba, which has erupted at fairly regular intervals over the last 1.2 million years, still poses a threat with its huge magma chamber and should be studied to assess the risk of a fresh eruption. <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qxtxkNuJFtM/Unsg1KENfII/AAAAAAABNUs/651nm3dggjs/s1600/laketoba.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qxtxkNuJFtM/Unsg1KENfII/AAAAAAABNUs/651nm3dggjs/s1600/laketoba.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />The president of the Indonesia Geological Experts Association, Rovicky Dwi Putrohari, has told the Jakarta Post about the danger Mount Toba poses. <br /><br />"Our researchers were able to find the location and dimensions of the magma chamber of Mount Toba," he said. "Later research will find out the potential volume of magma in the volcano for triggering an eruption." <br /><br />Tomography studies detected the magma chamber beneath Lake Toba. They found it was located at a depth of between 20 and 100km. <br /><br />Putrohari said that a number of studies relating to the supervolcano were presented during a three-day conference held by the Indonesian Geological Experts Association and the Indonesian Geophysics Experts Association. <br /><br />Studies showed that Mount Toba has erupted four times in the past - 1.2 million years ago, at 840,000 years ago, 500,000 years ago and then again around 74,000 years ago.<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e1OJyYkt_d4/Unsg_92nmYI/AAAAAAABNU0/Bti_3_UnOeQ/s1600/sinabung.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e1OJyYkt_d4/Unsg_92nmYI/AAAAAAABNU0/Bti_3_UnOeQ/s1600/sinabung.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mount Sinabung in Indonesia erupted earlier this month (Reuters)</td></tr></tbody></table><br />The last eruption is recognised as the biggest known eruption ever to have taken place on Earth. The Toba catastrophe theory relating to this eruption suggests the event caused a decade-long global volcanic winter that was possibly followed by 1,000 years of cooling. <br /><br />The blast was 100 times greater than the largest volcanic eruption in recent history - Mount Tambora in 1815. <br /><br />Indonesia has around 120 active volcanoes currently being monitored, one of which has become increasingly active in recent months. <a href="http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/519396/20131104/mount-sinabung-indonesia-volcanic-erruption-alert-raised.htm">Mount Sinabung spewed ash 7km into the sky earlier this month</a>, leading over 1,600 to evacuate their homes. <br /><br />Putrohari said the magma chamber still inside Mount Toba could erupt at any time if the Sumatra fault line reactivated, as it runs directly through the volcano. <br /><br />"A quake could reactivate the magma chamber which is so far dormant. That's why we believe Mount Toba could erupt again at any time. When it will be, we don't know. Thorough and continuous research is needed to find that out." <br /><br />Andi M Adiwinata, from the Indonesian Geophysics Experts Association, added: "The researchers are currently working to find out how big the potential threat from Mount Toba is. Despite being categorised as inactive, its development needs further monitoring." - <a href="http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/519700/20131105/lake-toba-mount-volcano-magma-chamber-eurption.htm"><span style="color: orange;"><b>IBT</b></span></a>.<br /><br /><br /></div>

GLOBAL VOLCANISM: Global Volcano Report For November 5, 2013 - Updates On Klyuchevskoy, Etna, Bagana, Manam, White Island And Fuego!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">November 05, 2013 - WORLDWIDE VOLCANOES </span></b>- The following constitutes the new activity, unrest and ongoing reports of volcanoes across the globe, courtesy of  <a href="http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Volcano Discovery</b></span></a>.<br /><br /><br /><b><a data-ls-seen="1" href="http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/klyuchevskoy/news.html">Klyuchevskoy (Kamchatka)</a></b>: Tremor and degassing have increased with respect to the last report from KVERT. A steam plume rises about 2 km above the crater and a thermal anomaly over the volcano is visible on satellite data.
