The activity of the Pacific Rim Volcano and Seismic Belt has increased significantly recently. According to CCTV News,On the 25th local time, the eruption of Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, USA, entered its third day.It is reported that the volcano is considered one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It began its current eruption in the early morning of the 23rd local time. The outflowing magma seemed to tear the earth apart. It was magnificent and extremely dangerous.
The United States Geological Survey stated that,This volcanic eruption released a large amount of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, posing a potential threat to some surrounding residents..
Coincidentally, at around 7:29 a.m. on the day of the Kilauea volcano eruption,An explosive eruption occurred in the crater at the top of the Nandake Peak volcano in Sakurajima, Japan. The height of the volcanic ash column reached 3,400 meters above the crater., the Japan Meteorological Agency continues to maintain the volcanic eruption alert level at Level 3, which restricts entry into the mountain.
Data show that the Circum-Pacific seismic belt (Circum-Pacific seismic belt) is an area around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions often occur. It is located between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. It is more than 40,000 kilometers long and is a circular tectonic system that opens to the south. The direct cause is the movement and collision of the plates.
90% of the earth's earthquakes and 81% of the strongest earthquakes occur in this zone.After the 2007 Japanese earthquake, it has become a scientific consensus that the world, especially the Pacific Rim seismic zone, has entered an active period..
