They wanted it or not we all more or less know the issues Eyjafjallajokull recent eruption in Iceland. Even those who live as a hermit, could not fail to notice the absence kondezacijskih traces of airplane engines in the air. Noise pollution in nekliko the days absent and the skies gave way to the birds, just as in any other, predtehnološka time! But it is very possible that Eyjafjallajokull was just a preface to the thunder of "gods" from the Earth's interior.
Volcanic ridge in Iceland
What we should be concerned about the statement Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland!
Iceland straddles the line of volcanism is associated with it a number of identified volcanoes. One of them, the volcano, whose name is much easier to pronounce - Katla is directly related to the Eyjafjallajokull. Gudmundsson admits that there is no scientific doazana relationship between these two mountains are no historical records that date back a thousand and a half years in the history unmistakably indicate their proximity. In fact, shortly after each eruption Eyjafjallajokulla came to a "chain reaction" which followed the eruption of Katla. Local people in these situations carefully watched what happens to the Katla. And not without reason. The eruption of Katla is much stronger than Eyjafjallajokulla eruptions in the past 1000th years ago there were at least twenty that this active volcano makes an average of one in fifty years! To illustrate Katla magma tunnel is about ten times larger than the Eyjafjallajokull!
Kathryn Goodenough from the British Geological Survey says we have no evidence about the relationship between these two volcanoes but it is possible that it is a "vent" incandescent material deep beneath the Earth's crust that can overflow into two volcanoes. On the other hand connected eruptions of the two is unclear, but records from the past indicate their proximity. How many of us away from a new, large eruptions nobody could tell. We can only speculate on the past experiences and tell how it could be the time from weeks to just over a year ago, says Gudmundsson.
In these moments there is no seismic activity that would indicate the movement of magma within the Katla. Dr. Goodenough from the Iceland Meteorological Office says that science, despite primjenjenoj technology has certainly signs that could predict the "volcanic time," these things can change in just a few hours.
Seen in Icelandic, locally-economic and agricultural opportunities powerful eruption of Katla would seriously threaten the local economy, especially agriculture. But the consequences would be global. Peace and quiet in the sky are just the smallest items known issues - active volcanism.
Several strong tectonic disturbances in combination with multiple simultaneous eruptions of large volcanoes can change the climate in a second planet in a very long time.
