After the impact of the Kamchatka earthquake and the tsunami alert issued to the countries of the Pacific Ocean coast, the Klyuchevskoy volcano erupted. Is it common for these types of geological events to concession?
After the earthquake that affected the Kamchatka Peninsula, in Russia, the Klyuchevskoy volcano It erupted. Despite the feeling of desolation caused by a disaster after another, this is very common, since the movement of tectonic plates accelerates the eruption processes in the volcanoes that had already entered activity.
Indeed, according to the United States Geological Service (USGS) It is possible that some earthquakes of a high magnitude are related to a volcanic eruption. This is in those cases in which two conditions are met: that the magma within the volcanic system is sufficient and that the pressure within the storage region of the same is important.
In parallel, and as a consequence of the Kamchatka earthquake, there are already several countries that issued alert for the earthquake: Russia, Japan, the United States, Canada, Ecuador, Chile and Mexico.
Tsunami Russia earthquake
The state news agency of Russia, RIA, reported that The volcano erupted that he had erupted in 2023 and the schools of the nearby peoples had to close their doors for the ash invasion.
Although no detailed evaluation of the impact was issued and there are also no evacuation orders, the Russian authorities are alert to volcanic and seismic activity.
Kamchatka has about 30 active volcanoes. In addition to the activity that registers its volcanoes, the region tends to have constant earthquakes because it is located on the edge of an American tectonic plate that limits with the Euroasy, that of the Pacific and the Philippine plate. That makes it one of the areas that have the greatest seismic activity.
Tsunamis: The best known threat after an earthquake
The tsunamis, also known as tidal, are caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or when sliding tectonic plates. Are dangerous because they can travel at high speeds and reach the coast very fast.
The force of the water that tsunamis has causes massive damage to the communities that are affected by the series of waves that arrive. The Pacific Tsunamis Alert Center (PTWC) issued warnings for Russia, Hawaii, Alaska, Japan, Chile and the Islands of the Central and Western Pacific.
