Japanese volcano erupts
- cnkt 16y agoEarhquake, tsunami, nuclear leakage and volcano. It looks like someone tries to delete Japan from the map.
- nopassrecover 16y agoSo correlation != causation but... Shinmoedake erupted recently (Feb 1), was quiet since March 1st and has now erupted again. Interestingly it has been showing increasing activity the last couple of years (eruptions in 1716, 1717, 1771, 1822, 1959, 1991, 2008, and 2009). One could perhaps draw some arbitrary links between these dates and significant earthquake activity, but that would probably be taking it too far. An Indonesian volcano (Karangetang) also erupted following the recent earthquakes (Hawaii had smaller unrelated quakes as well which I wasn't aware of). Russian volcanoes also erupted following the quakes (accompanied by smaller quakes).
- PakG1 16y agoCorrelation with what? The earthquake? The supermoon correlation is quite intriguing. http://www.businessinsider.com/extreme-supermoon-2011-3 http://www.businessinsider.com/extreme-supermoon-2011-3
- nopassrecover 16y agoYeah I heard about that but thought it might be a bit far-fetched. Yeah I meant correlation with the earthquake (the articles I read strongly mentioned that the volcanoes are coincidental, not necessarily related causally).

- tomelders 16y agoThis is starting to look like a really difficult game of Sim City.
- StavrosK 16y agoIsn't the Icelandic volcano called Eyafjallajokull? Did he misspell it that bad?
- mzl 16y agoApparently, the name Eyafjöll (which is used in the article with the ö changed to oe) refers to part of the site of the famous Icelandic volcano. From Wikipedia: "The name Eyjafjöll describes the southern side of the volcanic massif together with the small mountains which form the foot of the volcano".
