The earth is never at rest. So as these volcanoes, making news everyday.. The recent air traffic disturbance by the volcanic eruption in Ice land jeopardized the air travel to UK was not erased from the memory, when Philippines declared on high alert yesterday as threats were raised by Taal Volcano (Beware!! It’s my time to act… small but, active).
And let’s not forget the catastrophic Chile earthquake (Magnitude: 8.8 Richter scale) on 27th Feb 2010-06-10, which was induced by the volcanic activities along side Chile. Nevertheless, Volcanoes are not always unpleasant. Paricutin volcano (Figure) in Mexico is one of the 7 natural wonders of the world!!! I'm yet to see one.
What remains a major concern are emissions from these volcanic activities. The failure of Copenhagen climate summit in December 2009 blames noncooperation by some developing counties to control the anthropogenic climate change, but then what about this nature's furry????
Do you know, Mid oceanic ridge passes through the Iceland. Interesting........
