Volcanic Activity Appears To Be Working It's Way Around The "Ring of Fire" by William Cormier (Posted by William Cormier) Page 1 of 3 page(s) |

As an interested observer, it appears that volcanic activity is working its way around the “Ring of Fire.” Seismic activity is also on the rise, and I believe it’s safe to speculate that the entire area is adjusting itself to compensate for the recent changes which occurred during Indonesia’s great quake and tsunami. No one can predict earthquakes and volcanoes yet, however, we can identify patterns - and it seems to me one is developing. I mentioned to my son a few days ago that I believed this was happening, and when Columbia’s volcano erupted Thursday night, it seemed too much of a coincidence not to document and mention. It appears to be moving in a northerly direction and I now believe we will see some serious volcanic activity in the United States. For those who have not visited this site before, my interest was piqued when I caught CNN minimizing the danger of Yellowstone National Park, Earth's only known active “super volcano”. The ground has swelled in Yellowstone 27 centimeters in the last century. However approximately one third of that groundswell occurred in the past three years. CNN referred to Yellowstone as the site of an “ancient volcano” which was light-years from the truth, so I did an in-depth article that virtually went around the world. CNN Oversimplifies The Danger of Yellowstone National Park I have a firm belief when a news organization as astute as CNN purposely plays-down a story there’s a reason, and I imagine they don’t want to cause fear or panic if some people over-reacted to the situation, which quite frankly, there’s absolutely nothing we can do about. An eruption of a super volcano the size of Yellowstone is an extinction level event.
Ever since that article, I have paid particular attention to volcanic activity as it relates to this hemisphere, and if you note the locations, it is increasing in frequency as well as moving north.
January 10 - 14, 2008
LLAIMA Chile 38.692°S, 71.729°W; summit elev. 3125 m
SERNAGEOMIN reported that seismicity from Llaima decreased in energy, but the number of events increased during 10-14 January. Based on seismic interpretation, weak explosions produced plumes of gas and ash. On 11 January, lava flows on the W flank that were observed during an overflight were cooled and snow-covered near the crater but snow-free, and therefore still hot, about 500 m further down on the flank. Blocks of incandescent material rolled about 1.5 km and caused steam emissions at several points where they contacted the glacier. Ash plumes drifted NE. Abundant cracks in glaciers to the SW of the crater were noted. Based on observations of satellite imagery and pilot reports, the Buenos Aires VAAC reported that ash plumes rose to an altitude of 5.5-6.7 km (18,000-22,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted NE and SW on 11 and 13 January, respectively.
Geologic Summary. Llaima, one of Chile’s largest and most active volcanoes, contains two historically active craters, one at the summit and the other to the SE. The massive 3,125-m-high, glacier-covered stratovolcano has a volume of 400 cu km. A Holocene edifice built primarily of accumulated lava flows was constructed over an 8-km-wide caldera that formed about 13,200 years ago, following eruption of the 24 cu km Curacautín Ignimbrite. More than 40 scoria cones dot the volcano’s flanks. Following the end of an explosive stage about 7,200 years ago, construction of the present edifice began, characterized by Strombolian, hawaiian, and infrequent subplinian eruptions. Frequent moderate explosive eruptions with occasional lava flows have been recorded since the 17th century.
January 2 -7 - 12, 2008
NEVADO DEL HUILA Colombia 2.93°N, 76.03°W; summit elev. 5365 m
Based on seismic interpretation, INGEOMINAS reported ash emissions from Nevado del Huila on 2, 7, and 12 January.
Geologic Summary. Nevado del Huila, the highest active volcano in Colombia, is an elongated N-S-trending volcanic chain mantled by a glacier icecap. The andesitic-dacitic volcano was constructed within a 10-km-wide caldera. Volcanism at Nevado del Huila has produced six volcanic cones whose ages in general migrated from south to north. Two glacier-free lava domes lie at the southern end of the Huila volcanic complex. The first historical eruption from this little known volcano took place in the 16th century. Two persistent steam columns rise from the central peak, and hot springs are also present.
January 9 - 14, 2008
POPOCATEPETL México 19.023°N, 98.622°W; summit elev. 5426 m
CENAPRED reported that emissions of steam and gas from Popocatépetl were visible during 9-14 January. The plumes occasionally contained slight amounts of ash during 9-12 January. On 14 January, high-frequency seismic tremor was followed by an explosion that produced ash emissions and propelled fragments from the crater.

Curious
This comment has been flaggedReason: (Other) Other
Mr Cormier's comments are astoundingly similar to those posted on the Smithsonian Institute Volcanic Activity Report...so similar it almost could be said he may have simply done a "copy paste" without making reference to the postings (which carry a copyright) http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports/usgs/ Interesting insight to the ring of fire events, good insight into the facts without the bias of a scientific study funded by the government. The US may only have a 53 day food supply for emergencies, but each citizen has the right and responsibility to store 3 days food and 2 weeks water for each member of the household (see Red Cross or FEMA websites). We can't expect the government to do it all, we must take an active part. by Lita Tomas (0 articles, 1 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 1 comments) on Saturday, Jan 19, 2008 at 5:45:11 AM  (0+)

Reply: I wrote This From Scratch
It's obvious that I used the site to substantiate the most recent volcanic activity; on that site I can see nothing that is predicting an eruption and/or increased seismic activity for the United States. I linked to the site myself to offer those described events to back-up my theory that the pressures generated by Indonesia’s Great Quake must now equal itself out throughout the "Ring of Fire." On page two, second paragraph from the bottom you will note this word: "LINK" If you press on that "link" you will see that I did link to and reference the original site. Further, on my site I made a correction that I haven't changed or referenced on this entry yet - and that's that we have a 43 day food supply for the US, not 53. I have found no other writings or extrapolations in regard data which I used as the basis for this "theory" or chain of events that I believe are emanating from the Great Quake in Indonesia. Are you suggesting that I "stole" my theory from someone else? And if so, who? If someone else has made note of the same thing and reached the conclusions I did, I haven't seen it in print anywhere, and I don't believe you will find it anywhere else except contained within this essay. If you read the original article that led up to this one, you will note that I did my research and caught the mischaracterization of Yellowstone as an "ancient volcano" and then placed its recent activity, which is unprecedented, in what I believed to be the proper perspective. This has been an area I have studied for a long time, and as I stated, once the Columbian volcano erupted I believed it was too much of a coincidence not to point out what I believe is a pattern and/or trend. What I write or hypothesize upon comes from research and paying close attention to recent volcanic events and their location(s), and in fact on this particular issue, I stepped-up and predicted that this year will be a year with sizable volcanic and/or serious seismic events on the west coast of the United States. I'll either be proven to be right or wrong, and even I admit that my beliefs are half-way based on the pattern I see emerging as well as a nagging belief that some of these potential natural disasters are right at our doorstep - not years off into the future. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and the frequency and locations thereof have always interested me and I tend to follow their activity especially after I was convinced that we aren't being told important facts in regard Yellowstone's bulging Caldera and the obvious slant of CNN's piece that minimized Yellowstone’s danger to the point of being deceptive in regard "what" Yellowstone actually is - the only active Super volcano on earth, and one that is over 45,000 years past its normal eruption cycle.

Signs prior to the big event
"As the Christ Jesus foretold, the signs prior to [the coming of the son of man] will be wars and rumors of war, and many of the people of the world will suffer from the 'seven plagues' (diseases, famines, pestilence, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and droughts) and 'many other terrible things.'" The author who wrote that explains how we are going through the terrible tribulation that Jesus and many other prophets foresaw. The thing is, the "son of man" Jesus was talking about was not himself. He was talking about the "witness and servant of God" that the prophet Isaiah was talking about.

Well done, William
It's certainly interesting what's Nature is up to, even if there's not much we can do except for certain preparations we do anyway, here in the tornado belt. As far as the media is concerned, this quote applies: "The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars; The men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. -- H. L. Mencken The movie, The Matrix, also said it, symbolized by red and blue pills. Most people stay with the blue pills. That's okay. The red pill's almost overwhelming.

The interconnection of all things
Your article is interesting. I have to admit that my one geology class in college brought me two things: I met my future wife; and I learned that geology was a subject that I know little of. Having said that, I do know that modern science tends to separate things into individual pieces to study them. However, in the real world there seems to be a real interconnection of all things. That we are moving into horrible times (economic crisis, and coming global war, etc.) may well be connected to geophysical events. I remember reading that in the Pacific the weather patterns were different from the late 30s till early 1946, same time as the war was ongoing (first in China then throughout the Pacific basin area). The fact is that we/all things are interconnected. There is an interesting article on this, "The Amazing Holographic Universe" at www.redicecreations.com/specialreports/2006/01jan/holographic.html However I would go farther than the article. I say that God is the Creator of all and is at the center of all things. So as we head deeper and deeper into nightmare times, the End Times, it is only natural that nature itself will play a part.
