Turns out the "islandmountainglacier" volcano has a big brother that normally erupts within a year of it.
But another, closer volcano, called Katla, has a history of going off whenever Eyjafjallajokull does. Three times in history when Eyjafjallajokull has erupted — in 926, 1621 and 1821 — Katla has too.
Yeah if Yellowstone goes could cause huge problems in lower 48. Helens eruption in 1980? think it was caused lots propagation of ash for hundreds of miles.
Worst case yellowstone scenario. Honestly not concerned maybe should be but Im not. This would be a real kiss your as goodbye moment.
No your right its like errosion of roads and land in cape cod and florida. Different poisons. But there are areas that are more prone to natural disasters than others.
the crazy thing about earthquakes on the new madrid faultline is how far they propagate, earthquakes in missouri have been felt, and even rang church bells, as far away as boston
there was one 2 years ago to the day
http://earthquake.us...008/us2008qza6/i live in chicago almost 300 miles away and it woke me up and i thought i was dreaming my bed shaking, lol
if you know what look (feel) for youll actually notice a lot of earthquakes in the chicago area
well everyone lives on a tectonic plate, the only other place to be would be below the earths crust, and its a bit warm down there
as for why people live on a tectonic
boundary, there are many reasons, these areas tend to have volcanoes as well as earthquakes, and volcanic soil is known to be very fertile. but another reason is just chance or bad luck, cities like LA and san francisco were well established before the earthquake threat was fully understood, after that it was just easier to deal with the quakes than try to relocate a major city
but you can apply this logic to almost anywhere, why live in a florida with all the hurricanes? or the midwest with the tornadoes, alaska with all the blizzards, hawaii with the volcanoes. pick your poison, lol
