Russia earthquake has caused a 'parade of volcanic eruptions': Expert
KAMCHATKA PENINSULA, RUSSIA, AUG 5 – The magnitude 8.8 earthquake triggered simultaneous eruptions of seven volcanoes on Kamchatka Peninsula, marking the first such event in nearly 300 years, scientists said.
- A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29, triggering simultaneous eruptions of seven nearby volcanoes.
- The earthquake altered crustal stress, possibly easing magma ascent, while experts note such quakes can trigger volcanic eruptions but it is too early to fully assess the events.
- Volcanoes Klyuchevskoy, Krasheninnikov, Avachinsky, Bezymianny, Kambalny, Karymsky, and Mutnovsky showed eruptive or increased activity with ash emissions, lava flows, and seismic signals after the quake.
- Director Alexey Ozerov called this a rare "parade of volcanic eruptions," the first such event in almost 300 years since a similar eruption sequence in 1737.
- Authorities evacuated personnel due to eruption hazards and warned that volcanic ash could pose risks to aviation, signaling ongoing volcanic unrest in the Kamchatka region.
