Default Volcano still at full blast

The volcano is still at full blast and the ash plume is still at 4-6
km high, but the ash is more coarse now than before.
The airports are at on and off service.
some remarkeable video fotage here shows the fierce force
of the volcano.

I've found this a good site for daily updates.

http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-v...ticles/nr/1884


Yes. It's a very good resource. Probably because it is .is and therefore
nothing to do with us.

The page I've been keeping an eye on is
http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-v...myrdalsjokull/
which was full of activity when I first started 10-14 days ago and now
is mostly empty.

All sources seem to agree with you bar one. Seismically, the volcano
seems to have gone to sleep. Just one 1.2 and one 1.9 in the past 48
hours.

I'm not sure of the significance of increasing volcanic activity and
decreasing seismic activity.

Scientists are quite unsure af that matter, all they know now, that
after a wave of tremors deep under the glacier few days ago, the
volcano propably had some new magma supply.
The plume was up to 9 km yesterday and was visable from the outskirts
of Reykjavik.
I was suprised how big and bleak it was, reminded me of the first days
of the euruption.
Some of the towns and farms west of the volcano had some black rain
today.
And the nation is not amused after a almost 4 weeks of continuous foul
play
of the infamous tongue-breaker.

The travel industry is facing a disaster, not many foreigners dare to
the island and risking to be stuck there for days or weeks.

Thor, Reykjavik.

48 hours?

You're talking about feeding times in a subterranean zoo and you think
48 hours tells you something?

I suppose you have the bloody cheek to ignore most of the stuff I've
been trying to tell you for umpteen years, have you?

Of course. *It's not the magnitudes that are important, or even the
frequency, it is sudden changes in activity that tell us something.

There is no lag between deep magma movements and the tremors they cause.


First off, there is no way to tell if what the machinery is looking at
IS magma.

These earthquakes are *not* due to build up of shear forces.


No earthquakes are due to a build up of shear forces. At deep levels
and high temperatures rock is soft an pliable. It is all fluid.

Then there is the matter of distinguishing sand from aquifer.

But don't let honest enquiry interfere with your take on a thread
about facts....

....Oops!
Wrong thread.

A sudden change in seismic activity will almost always relate
to a sudden change in deep magma behavior.


A sudden change in seismic behaviour will appear to affect everything -
including seismic behaviour.

But let me put it in simpler terms for your edification:

There is a root cause to all of this and it all passes through a stage
of physics called acoustics.

The initiating factor is gravitational attraction. (But until you can
get your head around the way that that works -or rather DOES NOT WORK,
you are going to remain a lost sheep.)

I suppose you have the bloody cheek to ignore most of the stuff I've
been trying to tell you for umpteen years, have you?


Well as I said earlier, I'm afraid so. Trying to work out exactly what
it is you're trying to say is simply too much work.


Have you tried asking me nicely?

I don't respond at all well to people who need my help being cheeky to
me.

Some people might regard it as being "cheeky" to assume that anyone
needs your help!

Iceland Met Office, 15th May:
"An earthquake swarm started beneath Eyjafjallajökull just before
midnight. In the period between 23:54 and 02:45, more than thirty
earthquakes were located at depth greater than 20 km and magnitude less
than Ml 2. A few more earthquakes were detected until morning."

Northern Ireland airspace closed this morning. Probably more closures
to come.

And?

Just because they are as daft as you, doesn't mean they don't need
help they won't get being unpleasant.

Notice how I clipped extraneous stuff from your post, you idiot.

I'd tell you why if I thought you were worth the effort.
