Again---and Again: Earthquakes in Indonesia

Earthquake scaled at 7.2 M occured S of Meulaboh, Aceh, Indonesia on May 9, 2010---Just 1 month and 2 days after the previous 7,7 M devastating earthquake occured at nearly the same region. The earthquake happened on 00.59 PM Western Indonesian Time (GMT +07). The quake were damaged buildings in West Aceh District and Simeulue Island. Tsunami reported at Meulaboh with the amplitude= 50 cm. Yesterday ( May 9, 2010), Coordination unit for disaster management has gone to that area to help people maintain their damaged homes. the earthquake was felt as far as Medan.

EARTHQUAKE INTENSITY MAP

*) note that an Indonesian (supernatural?) group has predicted this earthquake using somewhat unscientific way ( 11 days cycle of disaster--->next disaster is about to blast Indonesia on May 20, 2010), and this is the prove.

QUAKES ALSO REPORTED IN:

1. West Sumatra ( 4 perceived earthquakes, one of them (the one scaled at 5.4 M) felt in JKT)

2. Central Celebes

3. West Nusa Tenggara

Eyjafjoll Eruption

MORE INFORMATION PLEASE REFER TO THIS LINK:
LIVE WEBCAM OF EYJAFJALLAJOKULL VOLCANO

Eruption were reported to start on March 17, 2010 The erruption in March 24-30 March were fissure type. Also, local scientist reported 4-5 active craters and 200m lava-fall into the Hruna Canyon. On March 26, the lava flow changed its course down 100m to Hvanna Canyon. From a helicopter on 28 March, scientists saw lava flowing into both canyons and noted fewer jets of lava. The next evening a swarm of earthquakes in the region measuring M 2-2.5 were detected. A geophysicist noted that seismicity was gradually decreasing. The volcano have covered an area as big as 1 square km with 10-20 m thick lava. An Earthquake scaled at 3,7 M detected in erruption zone on April 6, 2010. On April 13, 2010 eruption rate is decreased to pre-eruption level, but subglacial eruption occured on April 14, 2010 from a new vent located West of the old one. Water from melting glacier flow to N and E, causing road closures, evacuation of 700 inhabitants, and flight bannings. Iceland Police Office had reported that 25,000 people had visited the eruption site since it started on March 2010.In 16 April, 2010, Ash cloud were reported to fly as high as 30,000 ft or 9 km.
22 Lightning Strikes were observed in eruption site from April 16 2010 00.00 GMT to April 17, 2010 04.36 GMT. Some minor earthquakes measuring 1.2-2.3 on the Richter scale were also measured during that time period. The eruption continued with constant force last night but after 4:30 it was somewhat weakened. The spout reached a height of 8.5 kilometers, ruv.is reports. There is still significant ash fall in the immediate area—it is very dark at the foot of the glacier. The ash cloud is dense from Núpur in the west to Vík in the east but there is not as much ash fall in the Mýrdalssandur sand plain east of Vík anymore.

NOW (APRIL 19,2010) LIMITED AIRBORNE TRAFFIC IS PERMITTED ALL OVER EUROPE AFTER A 5-DAY BANNING!

Eyjafjoll a.k.a Eyjafjallajokul is an andesite stratovolcano with caldera in its top. This volcano lies directly on the divergent tectonic boundary which continued from South Atlantic and after passing the Iceland this boundary goes to the north pole. Along with Surtsey and Hekla, this volcano also lies in the southern shore of Iceland.

Compare Eyjafjallajokull to this VEI 6 PINATUBO ERUPTION:

How animal responding to P and S-wave

See this video. Anyone could conclude that animal can respond to P and S wave, which it not detectable to human because of its speed (P wave travels at 14 km/s in water, 300m/s in air and 50km/s in granite, and S wave at 60% of P wave). Some seconds later the main shock is perceived.

Earthquake Lights

Earthquake light is a phenomenon preceding or following an earthquake that caused by several things, these are:
1. Electric fields caused by tectonic movement of rocks containing quartz. Quartz is a piezoelectric mineral and abound in earth. Piezoelectric means that it can generate an electric field.
2. The disruption of local magnetic field. This hypothesis is not scientifically verified.
3. The light might be a result of ionization or plasma-chemical reaction of radon gas. Note that before an earthquake occur , there is unusual amount of radon gas near the epicentrum.
Long before the age of modernism, a haiku poetry made by an unknown Japanese:

The earth speaks softly
To the mountain
Which trembles
And light the sky

This light could be multicolored, reddish, or just white. Some report of earthquake lights are:
1. Reddish arc visible in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, after May 22, 2005 Earthquake. The earthquake was scaled at 6,9 M
2. Red lightning visible in Aceh, Indonesia before 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami. This lightning was so clear "like a fire". The weather was clear.
3. Mt. Kimyo Earthquake light as seen on photo in the left. It was taken by T.Kuribayashi on Sep 26, 1966. It was triggered by Matsushiro earthquake swarm occured in 1965-1969.










4. Sichuan earthquake light visible 30 minutes before the earthquake. You could find the video easily in Youtube. I'm so bored watching that video. ~_~.
5. 2007 Peru Earthquake light. Anyone may see the video below.


6.Recently, 2010 Chile Earthquake light. Residents reported that they were felt somewhat uncomfort to sleep, and then they saw "Very Bright Light" emerging from Pacific Ocean.

NEW TEAM MEMBER FOR CRSA ON AKSHAY'S GYAAN NETWORKS

I AM VERY HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT CENTER OF RESEARCH OF SEISMIC ACTIVITY IS GETTING A NEW MEMBER FOR BLOG UPDATES AND EARTHQUAKES/VOLCANO RESEARCH.
HIS NAME IS

ALUTSYAH LUTHFIAN.
HE WAS BORN ON 2ND OCT 1993 IN INDONESIA. HE IS HIGHLY INTERESTED IN Cartography, Astronomical and unexplained phenomenon and geophysics, religious science WITH REGULAR UPDATES ON FACEBOOK FOR ANY EARTHQUAKES OR VOLCANIC ERRUPTIONS. ALUTH FIAN IS ALSO INTERESTED IN WEATHER AND OFTEN CONSULTS ME FOR INDONESIAN WEATHER PATTERNS

HE WILL UPDATE ON THE BLOG ALL THE LATEST EARTHQUAKES IF ANY STRIKES WITH VIDEOS AND OTHER STUFFS RELATED TO VOLCANOES. I WILL ALSO UPDATE WHEN TIME PERMITS. BUT IT CAN BE TOO DIFFICULT FOR ME TO KEEP IT GOING.

NEWS ALERT--

A VERY STRONG EARTHQUAKE OF 7.7 STRUCK IN NORTHERN SUMATRA,INDONESIA WITH A TSUNAMI WARNING ISSUED FOR INDONESIA AND INDIAN OCEAN. NO NEED TO PANIC
