Oooh, little earthquake in the green circle.
(green circle = Kolombo volcano)
Red = recent earthquakes
blue = older earthquakes #santorini #earthquakes

@Viss @ai6yr Ancient hoteliers had it made, though. "Join us on vacation in Tonga! Now with free massage beds!"
@ai6yr makes me wonder if the tonga blowup was preceded by the same gigantic subterranian massage chair action
@Viss LOL it's like watching paint dry.
@ai6yr i hope it turns out be something interesting and isnt just a super gassy lava fart.
the last one was pretty wild - that explosion in tonga that made a new island/volcano (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-island-pacific-ocean-volcano-eruption-tonga-new-zealand/) - i was able to read the atmospheric pressure change with my weather station for that one!
@Viss LOL on super gassy lava fart.
Looking at the history of the area, I can't imagine it will be that tame... But then again, really, who knows? We don't have a lot of real time monitoring science behind telling when a volcano is going to destroy the local civilization/plunge the world into another world without summer/etc. Not a whole lot of seismographs around the last few times 🤪
@ai6yr WHEN KAIJU ALREADY
the kaiju suspense is killing me!
@ai6yr @Viss That's ancient history. Elon erased it all except for the Nazi frog and the DOGE dog. Waaaaait a minute. Who are you people?
@steter @Viss LOL not so ancient... that eruption was in 2022.
@Viss @ai6yr A couple of new islands have popped up recently in Japanese waters. The island chain is growing a bit.
@steter @ai6yr well, ill tell ya, being present to watch a new island form VERY RAPIDLY would have been straight up cool as fuck.
course, i suppose knowing it was going to happen with enough lead time to do something like that would have itself been a pretty neat trick
@ai6yr @Viss Sooner or later it is going to release all of that energy like a giant molten pimple from hell.
I've wondered if melting ice off of the poles, land-locked or otherwise, wouldn't change the planetary gyroscope enough to get volcanoes firing off as plates shift to accommodate the movement of so much mass from the far north and south to the equator and elsewhere.
Geology. It's a growth industry again.
@steter @Viss There's a heck of a lot of island shifting on Iwo Jima... you should compare all the satellite maps. None of the (static) satellite imaging services ie Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc. have the same images!! The island is shifting due to volcanic activity... moving around WW2 stuff too due to uplift etc.
1543 CE it was two islands... The whole thing is rising because there's a giant magma chamber underneath LOL.
