It had been dormant for 200 years. Is the amount of activity between earthquakes, and volcanos as of late alarming to anyone? Is this normal, or is there a sinister warning from all this?

Damn liberals... :pac:

bonerm · 21-03-2010 12:55PM

It's normal for Iceland anyway. The place was formed BY a volcano.

Could only find it in foreignese.

It started with an earthquake, according to REM

Iceland is a volcanic Island which formed on a diverging fault line.

Earthquakes and Volcanoes are incredibly common there, this is nothing major other than the evacuees.

IvyTheTerrible · 21-03-2010 01:17PM

Research has shown that if there is one major earthquake (such as the recent one in Chile), that increases the worldwide earthquake and volcanic activity afterwards. And Iceland is in a volcanic zone anyway.

Who's going to be the first to blame global warming? Taking all bets!

This is because of global warming!

Eh, actually there has also been research showing global warming can increase the number of earthquakes and volcanos:

It's the Americans experimenting with Techtonic weapons, it started with the earthquake that caused the 2006 Tsunami, but they have gotten better at localising damage.

About 10 years ago there was an eruption in Iceland - the winds carried the ash to Ireland and there was a layer of red dust on everything about three days later here in Galway.

Weather charts suggest it won't happen this time.

Wow, those Icelanders must have really pissed off Jesus, they're getting a terrible run of luck.

Michaelrsh · 22-03-2010 01:52PM

I think it was amazing looking at the videos of the eruption. In the background a glacier and in the centre a burning inferno. Iceland truly is the land of ice and fire.

Michaelrsh · 22-03-2010 02:02PM

Apparently the Sugarloaf in the Wicklow mountains is an extinct volcano. But who knows, it could become active again. So basically everyone in South Dublin and North Wicklow better be on the guard, they got a volcano in their back yard.

It's God's wrath and pedo priests, except he missed by about 1,500 km or so.

Back of the class Michaelrsh, anyone who paid attention in geography will know that this is a myth.

The Great Sugar Loaf is composed of Cambrian quartzite, in contrast to the rounded mountains to the west, which are made of Devonian granite. Popularly mistaken for a volcano, it is in fact an erosion-resistant metamorphosed sedimentary deposit from the deep sea.

/Glances at the Sugar Loaf and is glad she is a Northsider.

I blame the IMF >.<

I'm waiting for an update on the Jim Corr website.

I suspect it was the British trying out a new weapon in retaliation for the Icelanders not paying the £3.5 billion they owe.

Is that what the song, "What's the Frequency Kenneth", about?

Why would they experiment with Tectonic weapons. They have way more nukes then they need to destroy the planet.

Clearly the pope is responsible.

Volcano erupts in Iceland.
