Some 1,600 Volcanoes Have Eruptive Potential in the World



Mexico, Jan 7 (Prensa Latina) About 1,600 active volcanoes have the potential to erupt in the planet, said the researcher from the Institute of Geophysics (IGf) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), Servando de la Cruz.

The expert said that between 20 and 50 are alternatively active, so there is always one in eruption and can even coincide as happened in Hawaii and Guatemala.

He asserted that this is coincidental and remarked that the eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii and the Volcan de Fuego (English Volcano of Fire) in Guatemala does not mean that there is a connection between both events.

A volcano is an independent system and each one needs to be monitored and studied in its own context, he pointed out.

That isn’t targeting the Eastern US.
We get hurricanes, tornadoes, the 500 foot high tsunami when the Canary Islands slide into the ocean — as well as 95% humidity and Kudzu.
