We wanted it or not we all more or less know the problem Eyjafjallajokull recent eruption in Iceland. Even those who live life hermit could not notice the absence of traces kondezacijskih aircraft engines in the air. Noise pollution in nekliko day absent and uploaded by the heavenly expanse birds, just like 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 groove in Iceland
What we should be concerned about the statement Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson, geophysicist with the University of Iceland!
Island lies on the line of volcanism is associated with which identified several volcanoes. One of them, the volcano, whose name is much easier to pronounce - Katla is directly related to Eyjafjallajokull. Gudmundsson admits that there is no scientific doazana connection between the two volcanoes, but the 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 led to "chain reaction" which followed the eruption of Katla. Local residents in these situations carefully watched what happens to 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 makes the average active volcano one in fifty years! Illustration magma tunnel Katla ten times higher than that for Eyjafjallajokull!
Kathryn Goodenough from the British Geological Survey says no evidence on the connection between these two volcanoes but it is possible that it is a "vent" fiery matter deep under the Earth's crust that flows in the two volcanoes. On the other hand link the eruption of both is unclear, but records from the past indicate their proximity. How much separates us from new, no major eruption is unable to determine. We can only guess and to say that previous experience may be a period of several weeks to more than a year, says Gudmundsson.
In these moments there is no seismic activity that would indicate magma is moving inside the Katla. Dr. Goodenough from the Iceland Meteorological Office added that in spite of science technology primjenjenoj there certainly signs that could predict the "volcanic time," these things can change in just a few hours.
Viewed in Icelandic, the local-economic conditions and strong agrikulturalne Katla eruption would seriously jeopardize The sons economy and especially agriculture. But the consequences would be global. Peace and quiet in the sky are just the smallest item called problem - active volcanism.
Several strong tectonic disturbances in combination with simultaneous multiple eruptions of large volcanoes can change the climate in a second planet in a very long time.
