The Number Of Global Earthquakes Over The Last 30 Days Is More Than 50% Above Normal

By

Why is the number of earthquakes happening around the world increasing so dramatically?  In recent days, we have seen very large earthquakes in Venezuela, Fiji, Italy and elsewhere.  Here in North America, significant quakes have rattled Oregon, Alaska and the west coast of Mexico.  As I reported on all of these important seismic events, it sure seemed like the number of earthquakes was rising, but I wanted to be sure.

I once worked as an attorney, and I was trained to only come to conclusions that were warranted by the facts.  So I decided to pull up the numbers, and what I discovered was extremely alarming.  It turns out that the number of earthquakes that we have witnessed over the last 30 days is more than 50 percent above normal.

Of course the Earth is constantly being pummeled by quakes, but this is a huge deviation from the norm.  Could it be possible that we have entered a time when major Earth changes are going to start happening on a regular basis?  If so, what does that mean for the future of our society?

If you go to Earthquake Track, you will find the latest data on all earthquakes that have happened all over the planet.

According to their numbers, there have been 82,845 earthquakes of magnitude 1.5 or greater over the last 365 days.  That is an enormous number of earthquakes, but most of them are so small that they can’t really be felt.

When you divide 82,845 earthquakes by 365 days, you get an average of about 227 earthquakes per day over the past year.

And when you multiply 227 earthquakes by 30 days, you get an average of 6,810 earthquakes per 30 days over the last 12 months.

But there have been a whole lot more than 6,810 earthquakes over the last 30 days.  In fact, Earthquake Track tells us that there have been 10,901 earthquakesover the last 30 days.

That means that the number of earthquakes over the last 30 days is more than 50 percent above normal, and that is big news.  Unfortunately, the mainstream media in the United States is almost entirely ignoring this story because they are preoccupied with other things at the moment.

Most of the earthquakes over the last 30 days have happened along the Ring of Fire, and a British news source tells us that over 90 percent of all quakes tend to happen along this seismic zone which roughly encircles the Pacific Ocean…

The Pacific Ring of Fire is the most geologically active region in the world.

More than 90 percent of earthquakes occur here, as well as 22 or the 25 biggest volcanic eruptions in history.

The entire west coast of the continental United States and the entire southern coast of Alaska fall directly along the Ring of Fire.  Over the past several days Alaska has been hit by dozens of earthquakes, including a huge magnitude 6.3 shaker…

The eruption, which occurred in the remote Andrean of Islands region of Alaska, happened at around 4.30am BST and had a depth of 27 miles.

There has been a total of 35 earthquakes in Alaska in the last two days, ranging from 2.5 in magnitude to 6.3 according to the USGS.

There have also been some quakes off the west coast of the U.S., but so far California itself has been largely unaffected.

However, the experts assure us that California is “overdue” for a major earthquake…

Richard Aster, Professor of Geophysics at Colorado State University, warned recently California is in an “earthquake drought” and overdue a 7.0 quake.

He said: “Although many Californians can recount experiencing an earthquake, most have never personally experienced a strong one.

The fact that there hasn’t been a very large quake in the region for a very long time may be a really bad sign, because tectonic stress along the Juan de Fuca plate is constantly building up.

At some point that stress must be released, and that is when we will see “the Big One”…

Geologist Erik Klemetti said: “The Big One will be generated by the stress built up as the Juan de Fuca plate off the coast of Oregon, Washington, California and British Columbia slides underneath North America.

“The plates can stick, creating stress that is sometimes released as giant earthquakes – and many smaller ones.

“The ‘snapping’ back of the plate can create tsunamis, just as we saw in 2004 off Indonesia and 2011 off Japan.”

The west coast of the United States is the center of the global tech industry.  If the “Big One” were to hit, it would be absolutely crippling for the entire global economy.

And I don’t know if this is related to seismic activity, but ocean temperatures off of the California coast have been hitting unprecedented record highs in recent weeks.  Experts are warning that millions of sea creatures are “in real peril” as temperatures rise to levels that may cause sea creatures to start dying off in massive numbers.

This is yet another story that the mainstream news is “too busy” to talk about.

Our planet is undergoing dramatic changes, and this is something that I have been writing about for a long time, but now those changes appear to be greatly accelerating.  Earthquake swarms come and go, but for the total number of global earthquakes in a 30 day period to be more than 50 percent above normal is definitely unusual.

Hopefully all of this seismic activity will settle down in September, but what if it doesn’t?

What if our planet continues to become even more unstable and unprecedented seismic events begin devastating major cities all over the globe?

As I have previously warned, a dramatic rise in planetary instability could have very serious implications for the future of our society.  We are already teetering on the precipice of global systemic collapse, and it definitely wouldn’t take too much to push us over the edge.

YELLOWSTONE STEAMBOAT GEYSER GOES OFF FOR 10TH TIME THIS YEAR!!!

By

Steamboat Geyser erupted again

Yellowstone National Park has more than 10,000 thermal features, sitting atop the world’s largest volcano.

It can send 2,000 times more matter into the sky than the Mount St Helens eruption.

A series of earthquakes have been rumbling underground …

Nothing to see, all is normal.

As the Norris Junction continues to heat up from the rising magma, so does the waters that make the geyser go off.

POLE SHIFT Caused Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano’s Magnetic Field to Flow OPPOSITE Of Earth’s

By

Kilauea volcano causes magnetic field distortion – Sends compasses in crazy directions. The poles are shifting.

Mount Kilauea, Hawaii’s erupting volcano, has a magnetic field which flows in the OPPOSITE direction to the rest of the planet. The bizarre finding, which sends compasses into an uncontrollable spin, had scientists baffled. But now the reason for the magnetic volte-face has been explained – and it’s even more mind-blowing.

The bizarre finding, which sends compasses into an uncontrollable spin, had scientists baffled – while locals linked it to Hawaiian folklore which attaches deep spiritual significance to the massive volcano which is almost one million years old.

But now the reason for the magnetic volte-face has been explained – and it’s even more mind-blowing.

According to geologists the molten rock below the Mount Kilauea caldera contains vast amounts of iron and is effectively a sea of floating magnets. About 780,000 years ago the rock cooled and simultaneously the Earth’s magnetic field inexplicably FLIPPED – the South Pole became the North and the North Pole became the South. But the sea of iron magnets below Mount Kilauea were now cooled and trapped in the now solid rock – with their poles facing the opposite way to everything else on the planet.

Studies into lava flows both below and above the Earth’s surface are slowly unlocking the reasons why the planet’s field flips every so often.

Eruption update 6.11.18:

Brad Singer, a geology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who investigates lava flow magnetic fields, said:

“When the lava flows erupt and cool in the Earth’s magnetic field, they acquire a memory of the magnetic field at that time. It’s very difficult to destroy that in a lava flow once it’s formed. You then have a recording of what the paleofield direction was like on Earth.”

He added that the flip occurs during periods of declining strength of the Earth’s magnetic field and that the planet was rapidly approaching another one.

Co-researcher Kenneth Hoffman California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo and UW-Madison who has been researching field reversals for over 30 years.

Hoffman and Singer are focusing on rocks that contain evidence of times that the main north-south field has weakened, which is one sign that the polarity may flip direction.

Singer said:

“Current evidence suggests we are now approaching one of these transitional states because the main magnetic field is relatively weak and rapidly decreasing. While the last polarity reversal occurred several hundred thousand years ago, the next might come within only a few thousand years. Right now, historic records show that the strength of the magnetic field is declining very rapidly. From a quick back-of-the-envelope prediction, in 1,500 years the field will be as weak as it’s ever been and we could go into a state of polarity reversal.

“One broad goal of our research is to provide some predictive capability for what could happen and what could be the signs of the next reversal.”

Yes, the poles are shifting guys…

A Catastrophe We’re Not Ready For

By

Imagine if electrical power suddenly went out for hundreds of millions of people. A blackout not just for hours, but for months, throwing our world into chaos and impacting everything from communications to food and water distribution. While a global blackout sounds like the start of an apocalyptic movie, there’s a possibility it could happen.

A massive solar storm hitting the earth is a ‘Low-Probability, High-Consequence’ event. It has the potential to knock out electrical power for a prolonged period and wreak havoc on nearly every aspect of modern life. Yet, it’s not something we’re really prepared for.

The last massive solar storm to hit the earth was in 1859, and is often referred to as the Carrington Event ( after astronomer Richard Carrington first observed the solar flare). It lit up the night sky with brilliant colors and caused telegraph wires to spark. There was very little reliance on electricity in the mid 19th Century, but had the solar storm hit just a few decades later, it’s disruptive impact would have been far greater.

A solar storm is a catch-all term that can include Solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), among other phenomena. A CME can cause real chaos for our electrified society. It is an eruption of the sun’s magnetized plasma that is then carried to the earth by solar wind, where it can overwhelm the earth’s magnetic field. Geomagnetically induced currents can damage hundreds of high-voltage electrical transformers all at one time, crippling the electrical grid. The impact of that could be catastrophic.

Magma Amassing Beneath Supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park, Scientists Say

By

Fairley said measuring the amount of magma amassing beneath Yellowstone directly informs researchers on the likelihood of an imminent eruption. If magma is coming up slowly, an eruption is probably a long way off, Fairley said.

Scientists with Washington State University and the University of Idaho have devised a new way to estimate the amount of magma beneath Yellowstone National Park’s supervolcano by measuring the heat lost through the park’s various geologic features.

Jerry Fairley, a professor with the department of geological sciences at the UI and one of the lead researchers on the study, said the new method involved dosing several hot springs with a benign, stable hydrogen isotope called deuterium.

Deuterium, Fairley explained, is a pervasive chemical throughout nature. He said scientists measured the amount of time it took for deuterium levels to return to normal as well as the temperatures of the hot springs to estimate the amount of water running through the system and the amount of heat lost.

While their conclusions are still subject to debate, Fairley said the research has shown the magma beneath Yellowstone may be amassing much more quickly than was previously estimated.

“The work that we’ve done, it seems to indicate that there could potentially be up to twice as much heat being discharged as was previously thought,” Fairley said. “If there is twice as much heat coming up as we thought previously, that means there’s twice as much magma coming up.” http://marygreeley.com/?p=71087

60+ Dead in Guatemala Volcano Eruption [VIDEOS]

By

RT| The deadly eruption of Guatemala’s Fuego volcano has affected more than 1.7 million people and sent thousands of people fleeing for their lives through streets buried in ash.

As least 62 people have been reported dead so far, and more than 3,100 have been evacuated. The village of El Rodeo has suffered the worst. Officials warn of the potential for new eruptions and mudslides.

Rescue workers pulled at least 10 people alive from ash and mud flows around Guatemala’s Volcan de Fuego on Monday.

President Jimmy Morales has declared a state of emergency and public calamity in three regions of Guatemala.

Most affected by the massive fall of volcanic ash were the municipalities of Sacatepéquez, Chimaltenango and Escuintla, Conred spokesman David de León said. A change of wind caused ash to descend on the capital, Guatemala City, before proceeding to eastern and northern regions of the country.

Drone footage has shown that an entire village has disappeared.

After the Volcan de Fuego discharged ash more than 10,000 meters into the air, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation was forced to suspend all incoming and outgoing flights to the La Aurora International Airport, to “guarantee the safety of passengers and aircraft.”


This tweet is very disturbing.

The army has been mobilized to support the evacuation of people affected by volcanic lava in the villages of El Rodeo, El Porvenir, Los Lotes and El Zapote. The General Directorate of Road Safety and Protection is also assisting the rescue efforts. So far, more than 3,100 people have been evacuated.

The village of El Rodeo has suffered the worst, after lava and ash reached the village. Emergency services are now treating the injuries mainly suffered from burns caused by pyroclastic flows. A number of people there also remain missing, after a river of lava overflowed its banks at the village. Cars were also swallowed up in the strong torrents.

A number of houses have been affected in the natural disaster. Authorities, meanwhile, have confirmed damage to two electrical networks and one bridge.

While President Jimmy Morales said a national emergency response in underway, people are advised to wear masks due to falling ash, to take precautions and to evacuate to safe areas if instructed by authorities. Locals are also advised to avoid river banks and to cover food and containers where water is stored for human consumption. After the eruption has finished, authorities urge the locals to clean the roofs of houses.


The volcano, meanwhile, remains active, trembling and spewing pyroclastic gases. “Currently the volcano is still rumbling and there is a greater potential for mud avalanches,” Eddy Sánchez, Director of the National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology (INSIVUMEH), told reporters at an afternoon press conference. Authorities are advising the populace to stay at least 200 meters away from currents of ash smoke and ash-infused water torrents.

As rescue efforts continue, Sergio Cabañas, the head of Conred, promised to dedicate “all the time needed to evacuate the people” from the municipalities worst hit by the eruption. Minister of the Interior Enrique Antonio Degenhart, meanwhile, told reporters that “more than 900 police officers will be deployed to provide the necessary security in the affected areas”.

Lava flows into PGV power plant; Civil Defense prepares for possibility of gas release [Video]

By

As lava breached the southern boundary of Puna Geothermal Venture on Monday, the head of a task force created to mitigate potential hazards at the power plant said efforts were underway to neutralize the last “active” well on the property.

A statement by the County of Hawaii confirmed that lava from Fissure 22 had crossed on to the property of Puna Geothermal Venture, which is described as “a geothermal energy conversion plant bringing steam and hot liquid up through underground wells”.

Tom Travis, the chief of Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, said during an afternoon media briefing he hoped efforts to “quench” well KS-14 would prove successful sometime Monday night.

Hawaii County Civil Defense reported Monday morning that lava from fissure 22 had spilled over onto the PGV property and had come within 200 to 300 yards of the power plant’s well pad before being stalled by a berm.

Fissure 22 also delivered lava into the ocean at two spots near MacKenzie State Recreation Area on Monday, with molten rock traveling on one of the same paths as lava from fissure 20, which was no longer feeding the ocean.

The main concern, should lava overrun the well pad, is the release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a colorless, highly flammable and toxic gas.

In June 1991 the geothermal plant had a well blowout. The blowout spewed toxic gas and routed 75 people from their homes on the island of Hawaii. White sulfuric steam roared uncontrolled for more than 30 hours from the Puna Geothermal Venture well before the company managed to cap it.

Steve Philips, a farmer who lived a mile from the site and was jarred awake before midnight Wednesday by the explosion.

The blowout sounded like a jet airplane taking off, he said, except that it did not let up for two nights and a day. The noise, which got as high as 90 decibels, and the rotten-egg stench of hydrogen sulfide prompted the evacuations, according to Harry Kim, Hawaii County civil defense administrator. One worker suffered a minor injury in the blowout.

Even before the accident, geothermal development was among Hawaii’s most heated issues. Scores of protesters had been arrested as they tried to stop it. Environmentalists said it endangers the last major tract of lowland tropical rain forest in the United States. Residents argue that it threatens their health and safety, and some native Hawaiians decry it as a violation of the volcano goddess, Pele.

Norman Clark, project manager at Puna Geothermal Venture, which is owned by Ormat Energy System of Sparks, Nev., said the drill rig hit an extremely hot, high-pressure steam zone at 3,475 feet, far sooner than expected. But the blowout was not serious, he said. “We can drill and control anything that’s in Hawaii,” he said.

“This is important, because … lava is starting to intrude on the southern edge of Puna Geothermal Venture site. It’s not easy to predict where it’s going to go or when it’s going to get there,” Travis said.

Talmadge Magno, Hawaii County Civil Defense administrator, said his agency is preparing for “a possible H2S release, as far as messaging to the community and evacuations that might have to take place.”

“We haven’t specifically mentioned hydrogen sulfide, but with this flow coming on to the PGV property, we’ll start acknowledging that this is the next precaution that folks will have to take,” Magno said.

Deadly Acid Clouds Rise Over Hawaii As Lava Continues To Flow

By

Deadly white clouds of acid and shards of glass emerged into the sky over Hawaii on Monday as lava from the Kilauea volcano flowed into the ocean.

The volcanic eruption has been going on for more than two weeks now.

Hawaii’s Civil Defense agency warned motorists, boaters and beachgoers to beware of toxic clouds of “laze,” which is a combination of “lava” and “haze.”

The clouds formed as two streams of hot lava poured into sea water.

The plumes can be fatal if inhaled.

Since starting on May 3, the eruption has no signs of stopping.

Two thousand people have been ordered from their homes due to lava flows and toxic sulfur dioxide gas.

INDONESIA: MAJOR ERUPTION AT MOUNT MERAPI VOLCANO, CAUSING CHAOS AND HALTING AIR FLIGHTS

By

Eruption of Mount Merapi, Indonesia on May 11, 2018. Credit: Sutopo Purwo Nugroho

A powerful phreatic explosion took place at Indonesia’s Merapi volcano at 00:30 UTC (07:30 local time) on May 11, 2018. The volcano ejected ash high into the sky, closing a major airport and forcing authorities to issue temporary evacuation orders for all residents living within 5 km (3 miles) of the crater. The Aviation Color Code was raised to Red.

According to the Darwin VAAC, a high-level eruption of Merapi volcano sent ash up to 15 km (50 000 feet). Volcanic ash to 6.7 km (22 000 feet) and 12.2 km (40 000 feet) has now become detached from the volcano and continue moving SW and SE, respectively. Subsequently, ash at these heights is gradually dissipating. Minor emission to 3.6 km (12 000 feet) is expected to be continuing, the center said 05:30 UTC.

“Volcanic ash rain has occurred in Tugu Kaliurang of Sleman district of Yogyakarta and is forecast to persist in the south of the crater,” spokesman of national disaster management agency Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said, adding that local officials have distributed masks to prevent respiratory problems.

“Local disaster agency has instructed the villagers living in the radius of 5 km (3.1 miles) from the crater to evacuate to barrack set up for evacuees and the people have responded,” Sutopo told Xinhua.

The airport in Yogyakarta, the nearest big city to the volcano, was closed because of the threat from the ash, the state-owned aviation agency AirNav said.

A 3 km (1.8 miles) no-go zone has been declared by the volcanology agency.

Sutopo told reporters that 120 people who had been hiking up Merapi are safe.

At 07:00 UTC, Sutopo said there was only one eruption today, adding that volcanic activity of Mount Merapi remains normal (level 1). “There is no need for evacuation,” he said in a tweet.

Thousands of people are living on the flanks of Mount Merapi, active stratovolcano regularly erupting since 1948. It is located about 28 km (17 miles) north of Yogyakarta city (population of 2.4 million).

In November 1994, a large explosion at the volcano produced pyroclastic flows that killed 27 people.

A series of eruptions in 2010 killed 353 people. Over 350 000 were evacuated.

Geological summary

Merapi, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, lies in one of the world’s most densely populated areas and dominates the landscape immediately north of the major city of Yogyakarta. It is the youngest and southernmost of a volcanic chain extending NNW to Ungaran volcano. Growth of Old Merapi during the Pleistocene ended with major edifice collapse perhaps about 2000 years ago, leaving a large arcuate scarp cutting the eroded older Batulawang volcano.

Subsequently growth of the steep-sided Young Merapi edifice, its upper part unvegetated due to frequent eruptive activity, began SW of the earlier collapse scarp. Pyroclastic flows and lahars accompanying growth and collapse of the steep-sided active summit lava dome have devastated cultivated lands on the western-to-southern flanks and caused many fatalities during historical time.
