Along with the seismic twins, earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions, one
has to include tsunamis, those enormous walls
of water, and
landslides. Landslides can result from
earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions, just as tsunamis can result from
asteroid/meteor impacts,
earthquakes and landslides. If you're getting
the idea that many
events on Earth are interconnected, you're
right! To get a visual
idea how everything ties together, take a look
at this graphic. The
significant point is that WE, humanity, are at
the bottom of the heap.

Scientists began watching Tungurahua in Ecuador
a year and a half ago
when earthquakes increased dramatically in May,
1999. July
Tungurahua, known as the "The Black Giant,"
began emitting 2,000
metric tons of sulfur per day. By August, she
displayed a prominent
gas cloud overhead. Between late August and
mid-September, a total
of 40 active fumaroles (holes where gases are
released) opened up and
the summit began to crack. By early September,
the gas plume rose at
least 1 km above the summit. October 17th, the
alert level was
raised to ORANGE. Gas and ash rose in a steady
stream to the point
where 20,000 residents of Banos and Ocatalo
were evacuated.
October and November brought medium and strong
explosions belching
forth and volcanic plumes blew several
kilometers above Tungurahua.
By November 11th, scientists could see a small
lava dome inside the
600 foot wide crater when they did a fly-over.
Explosions blew 25-35
times per day, some so loud they could be heard
12.5 miles (20 km)
away. Mud flows destroyed portions of the road
between Banos and
Pinipe. Volcanic ash made a huge mess covering
approximately 50,000
hectares of farm land. Ash (tephra) landed on
the cities of Quero,
Mocha, Penipe, Guano and residents of Riobamba
complained of
breathing difficulties. October residents were
evacuated and they
remained out of their homes for more than a
month. Unfortunately
about 8,000 got tired it and moved back into
their homes. Now
Tungurahua is actively blowing as of April 16,
shooting magma and
boulders into the sky. Since most of the
volcano is covered in snow,
the melted snow from its fiery magma mixed with
the ashfall and
created many mudslides. After 56 years of
quiet, Tungurahua roared
to life one week ago.
************
CRACKING UP
One of the most startling pieces of news is
huge cracks found along
the East Coast of America. The cracks run 25
miles (40 km), just
north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, forming
ridges 300-600 feet
(91-182 meters) under the ocean. Concern is
that this will produce
an on-shore tsunami with little warning.
The series of cracks are in a precarious
location - at the edge of
the continental shelf. The land drops off here
sharply which
promotes underwater landslides, a well-known
cause of tsunamis.
Photo on-line shows similar cracks (on land) at
Mayaguez, Puerto
Rico. --Image courtesy of the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution.
If land breaks off at the cracks, it would form
an underwater
avalanche called a slump. During this
avalanche, it sucks down the
sea behind it. This action is similar to what
happens when a tsunami
empties the entire harbor of water only to
surge back on-shore with
added fury and height. It is estimated that
after a slump breaks
loose, a tsunami, or multiple tsunamis, would
make landfall within 20
minutes. That's not a lot of time to make
provision, but it could be
enough to streak to your car and drive to a
safe distance - provided
warnings were given.
Due to the less rugged terrain of the area, it
is expected that
tsunamis would reach heights of around 20+
feet. This is vastly
different than the giant tsunami depicted in
the movie "Impact".
However, should a two and a half story wall of
water come crashing
toward our house, we'd be impressed. That is
one of the biggest
concerns with population distribution these
days. Fully 86% of
Australia's residents live coastally and half
of all Americans do as
well. Living by the ocean's edge is beautiful,
fun, desirable, but
it's also dangerous. The East Coast is pretty
used to seeing
hurricanes, severe storms and tornadoes. Now
they will have to add
possible tsunamis to their disaster plate.
Is this a new phenomenon? No, of course not.
We have only to look
back at to July 1998, Papau New Guinea. That
deadly tsunami killing
an estimated 2500 people was the result of
exactly this type of
trigger when underwater land slipped and turned
into an avalanche.
This particular 40 to 50 foot tsunami [12 to
15 meter] - depending
on whose report your read - engulfed parts of
PNG with only seconds
of warning. It was initially thought to be
triggered by the 7.2
earthquake which took another 51 lives.
Further investigation
revealed a giant chunk of sediment was found at
the bottom of the
Pacific continental shelf. Now scientists feel
evidence points to a
quake-triggered underwater slide which
generated the tsunami.
The most likely areas targeted by an East Coast
tsunami from these
cracks are the North Carolina and Virginia
coasts and Chesapeake Bay
estuary. While inland flooding is sure to be a
problem, models have
not yet determined how far the flooding could
reach.
VOLCANIC BIRTH OF KAVACHI
A team of scientists from Australia, New
Zealand, Papua New Guinea,
Solomon Islands and the USA witnessed the
dramatic birth of a new
volcanic island in the Pacific. Kavachi
seamount is located just
south of Vangunu Island in the Solomon Islands.
The volcano had been dormant for the past 9
years but suddenly sprang
to life. Scientists arrived at Kavachi seamount
to find molten lava
being ejected 230 feet (70 meters) above sea
level and sulfurous
steam shooting more than 1600 feet (500 meters)
into the air.
Eruptions came at a rate of every five minutes
and against the night
sky, were like a fantastic fireworks display.
"We were able to approach to within 750 m (2460
feet) of the erupting
center. We found that the volcano had grown
dramatically since it was
last surveyed in 1984," says Neil Cheshire,
Master of the Franklin.
One of the most exciting opportunities it
presents is being able to
study how this new volcano forms and its risks.
This is particularly
important since it's only 21 miles from the
Solomons. Even though
Kavachi appears to be non-explosive during
eruptions, volcanoes can
be unpredictable. Scientists also produced a
geologic map of the
volcano and the surrounding area. The map could
reveal evidence of
past landslides and possible future tsunami
risk.
This expedition in exploratory vessel, The
Franklin, was led by
Australia's CSIRO (Commonwealth Science and
Industrial Research
Organization). They brought back a huge trophy
- a "black smoker"
chimney from the bottom of the Bismarck Sea.
Black smokers form similarly to geysers at
Yellowstone National Park.
They build when super-heated, mineral-filled
water is shot from weak
points in the Earth's crust due to water and
magma pressure below.
Some chimney's can grow to 15 stories tall.
LIST IN 1999 ALONE [not complete]
A new volcanic island (Unnamed) emerged from the ocean 30 miles
from the Tongan capital of Naku'alofa on January 18, 1999, per
Volcano World. Warnings were issued to ships traveling near the
area.

could be heard 40 miles away, per Volcano World. Smoke reached
1,000 feet above the crater.
Bezymianny, on the Russian Peninsula, sustained a large
explosion, sending gas and ash plumes 5 miles into the air on
February 24, 1999 per Volcano World.
Mount Cameroon in Africa exploded on April 2, 1999, adding
three more vents to the four already escaping on the sides of
the volcano. The Panafrican News Agency reported the fresh
rumblings shook nearby villages and destroyed 14 houses. 247
people living in villages surrounding the 4070-metre high
mountain were made homeless following the destruction of their
homes by the earth tremors.
Shishaldin, on the Russian Peninsula, extruded glowing rocks,
causing snowmelt, and sending plumes 45,000 feet in the air on
April 19, 1999 per Volcano World.
The Volcanological Society of Indonesia reported that during
the days leading up to May 3, 1999, ash emission, white in color
and reaching 400m in height, was observed at Java's Slamet. This
was accompanied by hot spring measurements showing a rise from
40.1o to 81.1o C. and seismic events dominated by tremors, which
had a 4 to 30 mm amplitude. The volcano status was raised to the
alert level.
Fox News reported that officials in Colima and jalisco states
in Mexico evacuated several hundred people from villages at the
foot of Colima, a 13,325 foot volcano, which sent a 15,000 foot
high plume of ash and gas into the air May 10, 1999. A large new
hole opened in the crater. Colima's last eruption was in 1994.
On May 20, 1999, Discovery News reported that Mexico's Volcan
de Fuego let out 20 outbursts during a 24-hour period, sending
volcanic ash raining onto surrounding communities. The Volcan de
Fuego is situated about 280 miles (450 km) west of Mexico City,
on the border between the states of Colima and Jalisco.
Fox News reported on May 22, 1999 that Guatemala's Volcan de
Fuego (Volcano of Fire), which last erupted in 1978, began
ejecting ash and rocks. Volcan de Fuego, near the colonial city
of Antigua, some 30 miles (48 km) southwest of the capital
Guatemala City, has had violent eruptions in the past.
On May 26, 1999, Nicaragua's Telica volcanoe erupted again,
though Telica's magmatic eruptions appear to be less violent
than those of nearby Cerro Negro which last erupted in 1995.
Mount Cameroon, known locally as Mount Faka, the highest peak
in West and Central Africa, poured more magma from its crater on
June 10, 1999 and appeared to be on the verge of another
eruption, per Volcano World.
The Indonesia stratovolcano Lewotobi, on the Flores Islands,
erupted again on July 1, 1999, per Volcano World.
Kliuchevskoi, one of the most active volcanoes on the Kamchatka
Peninsula in Russia, erupted again on July 1, 1999 per Volcano
World, sending a plume of gas and steam 50 meters above the
crater.
Fox News reported on July 6, 1999 that an eruption by the
Philippine Mayon volcano is pending, as lava has been moving
within the magma chambers. Mayon last erupted on June 22, 1999
when it sent smoke and ash 4 miles into the sky.
Reunion's Piton de la Fournaise (Fiery Peak) volcano, located
on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean some 118 miles
southwest of the island of Mauritius, erupted again on July 20,
1999, per Discovery Online.
Montserrat continues to explode and erupted with a powerful
blast on July 21, 1999 that sent ash soaring as high as 40,000
feet into the Caribbean sky, per Discovery Online, where it
could be seen by airline pilots.
Discovery Online reported that the Institute of Geological and
Nuclear Sciences had said that the White Island volcano, off New
Zealand's northeastern coast, erupted on July 23, 1999, spewing
steam and ash about 10,000 feet into the air.
Mexico's Colima volcano, located 110 miles south of
Guadalajara, erupted again on July 29, 1999, spewing ash from
the 13,448 foot crater. This was the fourth eruption during July
alone, per Volcano World. Discovery Online reported that
disaster authorities evacuated residents from the town of
Yerbabuena in the state of Colima, where the volcano is located,
as well as from five communities in the neighboring state of
Jalisco.
Discovery Online reported that subterranean explosions and
tremors on the Cerro Negro volcanoe on August 9, 1999 forced
evacuations from the Nicaraguan city of Leche Cuajo. Cerro
Negro, which is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes
in Central America, became active again after four years of
silence when lava and ash began spewing from three new openings
in the volcano, which is located about 44 miles northwest of the
capital city of Managua.
Nicaragua's Telica volcano roared back to life on August 11,
1999, spewing hot ash and rocks, per Discovery Online. The
1,650-foot (503 metre) volcano, located 50 miles (80 km) north
of the capital city of Managua, sent up a huge plume of smoke
and ash, which later blanketed nearby villages with ash.
Activity within the volcano had increased for the past month
after it first sent out a plume of smoke in June.
On August 12, 1999, the Karymsky volcano on the Russian
Peninsula erupted again with 15 gas explosions and possible
pyroclastic flows, per Volcano World.
The stratovolcanoe Guagua Pichincha, in Ecuador, located 7
miles from Ecuador's capitol city of Quito, erupted again on
August 12, 1999, per Volcano World. This was the seventh
reported activity in the volcano during 1999.
Mexico's Popocatepetl continued activity on August 19, 1999,
per Volcano World, the fifth alert during 1999 where eruptions
of ash and gas affecting nearby communities have occurred.Fuego,
in Guatemala, Central America's more active volcanoe, erupted
again on July 26, 1999, per Volcano World.
Popocatepetl was silent for 67 years until it exploded back to
life four years ago.
Japan's Mt. Shindaka on Kuchinoerabujima Island showed signs of
increased activity on Aug 27, 1999, per Discovery Online.

about 620 miles southwest of Tokyo, and last erupted in 1996.
The Philippines Taal volcano activated again per Discovery
Online on Oct 1, 1999. Taal, which is 47 miles south of Manila,
last erupted in 1977 and prior to that, in 1965.
Ecuador's active volcano Tungurahua, near the capitol of Quito,
exploded with gases again per Discovery Online on Oct 7, 1999.
Villarrica, in Chile, erupted again on Oct 17, 1999, per
Volcano World.
Two Nicaragua volcanoes increased their activity, per Discovery
Online on Nov 23, 1999 - San Cristobal, 95 miles northwest of
Managua, and Masaya, also close to Managua.
Mt. Marsili, which rises 9,800 feet from the seabed in the
Tyrrhenian Sea southwest of Naples, was believed to be dormant
but is now active, per Discover
