Lees alles over het onstuimige weer op onze planeet, volg orkanen en tornado's, zie hoe vulkanen uitbarsten en hoe Moeder Aarde beeft bij een aardbeving. Alles over de verwoestende kracht van onze planeet en tal van andere natuurverschijnselen.
Deze is het dus, plaatje komt van Kennislink.nl. Hierop is duidelijk de rand van de platen te zien, grtofweg ten zuiden van de serie eilanden langs, met daar haaks op enkele andere scheuren. Feitelijk zijn dat ophopingen van de 'gevouwen' plaat, alsof je een papiertje van je af schuift met je handen, en je handen tevens naar elkaar toe beweegt.
Hmmkay, daar heb je wel een punt. En de mensen verderweg onderbrengen, dat zal ook niet zomaar lukken.quote:Op zondag 4 juni 2006 18:45 schreef indahnesia.com het volgende:

Vorige week kwamen er nog ruim 6000 mensen om door een aardbeving in hetzelfde gebied, tienduizenden huizen zijn tegen de vlakte gegaan. Er is in de buurt nu simpelweg geen plek meer. Opvangkampen voor 'vulkaanvluchtelingen' zitten nu vol met 'aardbevingvluchtelingen'. Erg triest natuurlijk.
en dat geheel blijkt dan te komen omdat australië langzaam noord-noord-oostelijk schuift heb ik begrepen .. iets van 10 centimeter per jaar, en dat heeft dus blijkbaar nogal heftige gevolgen voor de tectonische platen en hoe die liggen cq van invloed zijn op de seismische activiteit daar in de buurt

behoorlijk wat zwaardere bevingen daar in de hele regio de laatste tijd .. da's dan ook wat ik bedoel met waar moet je naar toe, het is er nergens echt veilig daar op het moment

Het zijn er nogal veel die wegwillen idd.. dus heel snel gaat het niet.quote:Op zondag 4 juni 2006 19:14 schreef Light het volgende:

De 'regio' waar jij op doelt is ongeveer 10.000 bij 5000 km.. tja, dan heb je wel eens een aardbeving natuurlijk.
Een hete vulkanologische zomer op komst voor de Philipijnen !?

Speaking before the weekly forum Kapihan sa Sulo, Philvocs Director Renato Solidum Jr. identified the eight restless volcanoes as Mt. Bulusan, Taal volcano, Mayon, Mt. Pinatubo; Mt. Canlaon; Mt. Hibok-Hibok, Mt. Matutum and Mt Parker. The last two are in Mindanao.
hehe .. zo groot als het is, alles beefd daar atm, en met weinig geld kom je niet ver dus kan je net zo goed blijven waar je bent ..quote:Op zondag 4 juni 2006 19:25 schreef indahnesia.com het volgende:

11.000 Flee Merapi Area
MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia (AP) -- Indonesian officials evacuated 11,000 villagers from around Mount Merapi volcano, as lava and superheated clouds of gas poured repeatedly down its upper slopes, officials said Tuesday.
The mountain's lava dome has swelled in recent weeks, raising fears that it could suddenly collapse and send scalding clouds of fast-moving gas and debris down into populated areas.
The government of nearby Magelang district mobilized more than 40 trucks and cars to evacuate about 11,000 villagers from three sub-districts near the foot of the mountain, said Edy Susanto, a district official
He said the villagers were taken to temporary shelters, including school buildings.
"Of course it is dangerous. But we don't know for sure whether the lava dome will collapse," said Subandriyo, a government volcanologist who uses only one name.
Red-hot lava flowed as far as one kilometer (half a mile) from the mountain's crater, while gas clouds called pyroclastic flows streamed as far as 2-1/2 kilometers (1-1/2 miles) down its southwestern slope, Subandriyo said.
The 3,000-meter (9,800-foot) mountain is one of the world's most active volcanos.
Activity has risen since a magnitude 6.3 earthquake on May 27 hit a region about 30 kilometers (20 miles) to the south, killing at least 5,862 people.
Some scientists say the quake may have contributed to the increased activity at the mountain.
A major eruption could severely strain quake relief efforts.

landsgrenzen? Maleisie, Singapore, de Filippijnen en nog wat kleine eiland-staatjes in het oosten niet vergeten hequote:Op dinsdag 6 juni 2006 22:16 schreef moussie het volgende:

check, gezien.. indrukwekkende reportage, ook vanaf plekken waar ik eind maart nog stond.. alleen toen was er nog niets bijzonders te zien, een dag later werd de alarmfase verhoogd.quote:Op donderdag 8 juni 2006 20:49 schreef Light het volgende:

Overigens lijkt het mij niet echt een prettige gedachte om die vulkaan binnen vier weken in de achtertuin te hebben. Het is wel een tijdbom, een waarvan je niet kunt zien wanneer hij af gaat en die ook niet uit te zetten is.
Helemaal waar inderdaad, maar ik denk dat een aarbeving, die van bijna 2 weken geleden bijvoorbeeld toch nog erger is. Dat zie je helemaal niet aankomen.quote:Op donderdag 8 juni 2006 22:54 schreef Light het volgende:

vage shit zeg...
gister hadden ze de alarmfase verlaagd... en vandaag is ie weer verhoogd naar de hoogste stand... Kans op uitbarsting was weer toegenomen hoorde ik op het 11.00 uur nieuws.

Dat was toch bij mount helens ook, dat men dacht dat ie wat rustiger was geworden en toen met een flinke klap aan de zijflank ontplofte. (alleen niet dat men eert de alarmfase verminderde en toen weer hoger zette)quote:Op woensdag 14 juni 2006 12:38 schreef Frutsel het volgende:

MOUNT MERAPI, Indonesia (AP) -- Rescuers dug through debris Thursday to reach two people trapped when Indonesia's most volatile volcano erupted, nearly enveloping a village with a searing gas cloud and forcing thousands of residents to flee.
The eruption Wednesday came just a day after officials lowered the alert level and people returned to the homes around Mount Merapi.
"The situation is ... life-threatening," said Yousana Siagian, head of the government's Vulcanology and Disaster Mitigation Center.
The alert level for Mount Merapi was raised to its highest status again as the volcano dumped thick ash on scores of houses.
On Thursday, crews struggled to reach two people trapped in an underground emergency shelter, officials said. Five other villagers were reportedly missing.
The rescuers had been in touch with the two by cell phone. The bunkers, several of which dot the slopes of Merapi, are typically equipped with water and food.
Scientists had thought the 9,700-foot volcano was calming after weeks of activity when a gas cloud cracked its fragile lava dome June 8, easing the buildup of pressure.
The alert level was dropped a notch Tuesday, sparking widespread relief for people who have spent weeks in evacuation camps and were trucked home.
That quickly turned to concern Wednesday as Merapi demonstrated its famed unpredictability.
"We were very happy to go back in the morning, but as soon as we got there, we saw a massive cloud steaming toward us," villager Edi Egan said after being trucked back to the camp. "We all decided it was time to leave."
Up to 20,000 people live in the danger zone, taking advantage of the rich volcanic soil. By nightfall, at least 1,100 were back in camps and some 12,000 others were given orders to leave.
A superheated gas cloud nearly enveloped the village of Kaliadem, the closest residential area to the peak, only four miles away, said Siagian, the government vulcanologist.
A similar cloud killed 60 people in 1994, and about 1,300 people died when Merapi erupted in 1930.
Siagian said Merapi spewed hot clouds as far as four miles from the volcano's crater -- the farthest since the alert status was first raised to the highest level on May 13.
Ash covered one village 4.5 miles west of the crater with a gray blanket an inch thick, and soot rained down after dusk across many districts, officials said.
As villagers started returning home Tuesday, they were told to stay alert, and evacuation trucks remained on standby. They quickly sprung into action.
"The villagers are confused. They said it was safe, but hot clouds re-emerged. One thing is for sure -- we have readied ourselves to evacuate anytime," said Budiono, chief of Ngargosoko, a village six miles from the peak that was ordered evacuated.
Some 12,000 residents of seven villages on the mountain's west side have been ordered to leave, said district official Edy Susanto. Some were still waiting for trucks to take them to shelters as dusk fell.
"A heavy rain of ash and sand poured down on villagers," said Sugiono, an official from a monitoring post. He said it was very dark in the village, which was covered with smoke and ash. "People instinctively came to the shelters."
Despite the danger, many people have stayed put over the last month, citing the need to guard their homes and look after crops and animals.
The main dangers at Merapi are fast-moving bursts of blistering gases and rock fragments called pyroclastic flow. Experts say a massive vertical eruption threatening people many miles away will not occur.
