The Ring of Fire

If you are interested in Earthquakes and Seismic activity ongoing, there appears to be no better place on earth than the ring of fire that circles the Pacific Ocean. If one starts with the Redoubt Volcano going off almost every day now and shutting down the Anchorage Airport a lot this last week, and then from there go along down through multiple volcanoes down the west coast of Alaska and then British Columbia, Canada, the West coast of Washington, Oregon and California, and then traveling on down through the west coast of Mexico to the west coast of South America and finally over to the Tonga region where there is now an active volcano under the ocean likely surfacing soon(the volcanic ash is blowing into the sky and soon an island likely will form above the ocean). From there the Ring of fire travels up through Indonesia, Japan, then across the Aleutian Island chain and back to Mt. Redoubt which is the volcano now going off in Alaska.

Right now if you look at:

the USGS government earthquake center online,

you can see just how active this ring of fire is right now from Alaska to California in the Salton Sea, down to South America, over to Tonga, up to Indonesia and up to Japan and the Aleutian Islands. What this means is anyone's guess but if I were to guess, Volcano eruptions likely will increase along with Earthquakes. Whether this is just cyclical(in terms of hundreds or thousands of years) or just a one time event I don't know. However, it is happening.

The Ring of Fire

It seems like all the 3.0 earthquakes and above in Oregon, Nevada, California might be related also to the eruptions and VOG(volcanic smog) in Hawaii, the eruption of the Volcano in Chile, which reminds me a lot of what happened when Mt. St. Helens when off in the early 1980s in the US. It seems like a really active time on the western part of the Ring of Fire from Chile, up through to Alaska and even over in Hawaii. I don't think we've seen the end of all this yet. I'm just glad right now to not be living in Reno or near that Volcano in Chile.
