This week, a new volcanic eruption began on Japan's island of Iwo Jima. This eruption may soon form a brand new island. Elsewhere, an unexpected eruption of Mount Mayon occurred in the Philippines, with the eruption's trigger being caused by heavy rainfall. And, in Indonesia, an unusually strong earthquake swarm struck the Tobaru volcano, involving thousands of earthquakes. This video will discuss these stories and list the 50 volcanoes which are currently erupting around the planet.

    The rising of Iwo Jima has exposed many remnants of the terrible battle there, ships and other things are now above water level.
  • @Jos-scifiwriter
    These are such great reviews of weekly volcanic activity, thanks for the awesome research and editing work, it's brilliant 👍👋
  • @EatsLikeADuck
    Yes, there are 50 volcanos erupting. No, it isnt particularly unusual and no, it has nothing to do with the solar maximum, sun flares, or the Aurora.
  • @matthewcook3839
    I noticed this swarm on the Volcanoes & Earthquakes app and wondered if you'd mention it. Thank you for your dedication.
  • @stargaten.z5142
    Eyes on White Island, New Zealand. A very explosive type volcano. The Crater Lake has vanished!
  • @xwiick
    Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!
  • @benz516
    That +/- erupting volcanoes list is a really awesome idea, love it
  • @yomogami4561
    well that was an interesting series of activities thanks for the information
  • @TheSpaceEnthusiast-vl6wx
    Thanks as always, Geology Hub! While quite unrelated, the Tobaru volcano's recent earthquake swarm has made me think if the Indonesian volcanoes in that region are understudied, especially with the highly eroded cinder cones near the Tobaru volcano. I remember that one of the the 1808 mystery eruptions was suggested to be in Indonesia.
  • @johnnyc2764
    What website/database do you use to check for ground deformation?? Definitely want to check that out
  • @arjames26
    Rainfall there at Mayon Volcano is frequent. I remember when we visited that area, most of the time it is covered by rainclouds.
  • @aoilpe
    Rainfall is usually measured in millimeters. 1mm on one square meter = 1 Liter.
