Cumbre Vieja volcano post eruption phase! Time to say goodbye for volcano-thank you for all support :)

Magnitude ML 3.0
Region CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN REGION
Date time 2021-10-09 17:03:39.9 UTC (18 minutes ago)
Location 28.57 N ; 17.83 W
Depth 36 km

Not sure about The Zetas, but what it means is: another eruption, atop a mountain between 1600 and 1700 meters, exactly where the infamous broken ridge is located.

Translated this from comments on YT:

Attention: There are armed protocols for what is happening. Measurements are taking place continuously. it is being monitored. There is no reason to evacuate the island under the current situation.

Ohh, my gosh!! That doesn't bode well.

We can only wait, watch and see...and discuss to what the data points to

I wonder why...

All the "action" has moved NW to SE for the last week....

Getting intense!

If eruption broadens and we get new vents away from the middle of the island where it is at the moment and the island starts to crack.....well that would be really bad news indeed. Time will tell.

Agreed!

And wow, that is the largest release of sulfur we've seen in a while(the yellow cloud).

Here is a summary of what I learned in the past 24 hrs. These are my unproven ideas which are trying to explain what is happening with the volcano. Believe it or not.

The deep earthquakes (30-40km) indicate the magma pushing from the mantle plume to the upper mantle. There it finds the old plumbing and starts to go up faster. It is pushing up through the vertical, shaft like, tube to the surface. This magma is very hot and under very high pressure, but it cannot shoot right through because the weight of the magma already in the shaft controls its ascent.

Since it cannot go faster it spreads sidewise and occupies the old storage chambers. It pushes trough and breaks various obstacles, enters the pockets and fills dikes and sills with fresh magma. While it is doing this, the gases in magma (mainly H2O and CO2) explosively depressurize and create earthquakes. Judging by the depth of these quakes at the moment, the “A” – Upper Mantle Storage (15-20km) and “B” – Lower Crustal Storage (8-12km) are being filled.

Once they are full and cannot contain any more magma the pressure from the bottom will build up and the eruption could intensify. At the same time the magma will start to invade the “C” – Shallow Intrusive Complex at the depth of < 5km. We will see it by earthquakes starting at that depth and becoming shallower.
If that storage fills up and the current fracture cannot take in any more magma, we might see more vents opening and erupting. Some of them could be at the top of the ridge.

No one really knows when the breakup of the flank will happen, but once the vents on the ridge start to open and erupt, I think it will be inevitable.

If the push of magma from the mantle plume stops for some reason, then the whole operation will obviously stop as well. However, I don’t see it happening and in fact with the new M class flare from the Sun hitting us on Monday I think it might even intensify.

PS. There is a drawing showing the magma "plumbing", but I published it here a few times already.

For those that might be interested here is some college level information about Volcanism

[link to opentextbc.ca (secure)]

some points:
Explain the relationships between plate tectonics, the formation of magma, and volcanism

Describe the range of magma compositions formed in differing tectonic environments, and discuss the relationship between magma composition (and gas content) and eruption style

Explain the geological and eruption-style differences between different types of volcanoes, especially shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and cinder cones

Understand the types of hazards posed to people and to infrastructure by the different types of volcanic eruptions

Describe the behaviors that we can expect to observe when a volcano is ready to erupt, and the techniques that we can use to monitor those behaviors and predict eruptions

Are there three new vents on the right side?

3.3 - 36 km
3.5 - 11 km
3.1 - 38 km
3 in a row, within 4 minutes, 3 EQ's

Explain why a medium solar flare interacts with magma miles below ground or with volcanoes.
What's the science on it?

Thank you for this

This is FAB! Green for you, too!

Even with the literal "burning mountain" mentioned in the the Book of Revelation hanging by a thread, the world's wicked Elite continue to poke their finger in God's eye at every opportunity. So sad that the good will end up suffering with the wicked, but writing is on the wall for those with eyes to see.

Hi everyone! Looking quite doomy, and I really wish they would evacuate that island.

Does anyone have a seaside livestream link? tia

In 1949 it was documented that the huge section of the mountain detached and dropped 13 feet.
What stopped it?
Is it sitting on a ledge just waiting on a push.

It's already detached. I don't believe mountains heal thenselves.

There have been many studies on this subject. I will give you one link, but you can also do your own research.

At this point, what part of your scenario do you think the volcano is at?

Well, that's your story.....

Loved the picture. Thank you Tangy. Have been out tidying the garden today, then to the tip, then a long soak in the bath and still can hardly move!

Will now just move the mouse to trawl through all the latest posts here.

As always thank to all the posters here.

Thanks so much Dr H! Much appreciated.
