A Volcanic Eruption as the Earth’s Devastating Force

Volcanic eruptions are generally preceded by increased seismic activity. We demonstrate that earthquakes related to volcanic eruptions are no different than other earthquakes. The results show that earthquakes under volcanoes also form Omega-sequences. Future T-synchronizations associated with various seismic states define future earthquakes and possible eruptions. At the same time, we show that the large earthquakes under volcanoes are also synchronized with the global seismic activity of the entire Earth. Therefore increased seismic activity of volcanoes is not only a product of a local geological situation (e.g., pressure caused by the lava chambers), but is also related to the global seismic state of the Earth. We conclude that volcanoes are an important constitutive part of the globally synchronized tectonic activity of the entire planet. These results bring some hope that future work in this direction could allow for a better forecasting/prediction of future volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions and global warming are inextricably related since the formation of the Earth. This is because volcanoes have been spewing enormous amount of ash, water vapor, and GHG into the atmosphere. These expulsions of gases along with hot lava that burns the vegetation around can noticeably change the climate, often in devastating ways in the geological history.
