Where is the person that took offense to my "Ring of Fire" coming to life comment a few weeks back???
Here is Scientists now saying that very thing:
4-13-2005 Pacific 'Ring of Fire' awakened by Indonesian quakes
Massive quakes in Indonesia have stirred two huge volcanoes from their slumber and sent shockwaves reverberating along a vast and volatile region known as the Pacific "Ring of Fire."
Both on land or underwater, the volatile edges of the north Pacific, bounded by the east Asian rim and the west coast of the Americas, are alive with near-constant seismic activity.
From the nuclear-like explosion of Krakatoa volcano off Indonesia in 1883 to the eruption of Mount St Helens in the United States in 1980, the Ring's awesome power is legendary.
The reason for such geological volatility is the fragile fault lines that ring the zone.
The Earth's crust is made up of a series of rocky plates that literally float on the molten rock of the Earth's mantle and core, interlocked over the entire planet like the pieces of a puzzle.
These plates are in constant motion, clashing into each other or moving away from each other, creating stresses and pressure build-ups at their margins.
The edges, or fault lines, are weak points in the planet's surface where the crust drops to just a few miles in thickness; at its thickest it is about 20 miles deep.
Many, mostly small eruptions occur, but occasionally huge volcanic explosions, earthquakes or landslides are generated, as pent up energy is released through the weak fissures.
====================================================
Read and learn, I know many are now guided by Religion and do not believe in Science and this is no longer taught in school sadly but come on, seeing is believing.
