Listen To The Earth’s Terrifying Warning Signs

#shorts #sonic data #impending eruption #island’s Reykjanes Peninsula #magma intrusion Iceland’s geology is acting up right now. The Fagradalsfjall volcano is gearing up to erupt, and hundreds of earthquakes are rocking the Reykjanes Peninsula each day. You can hear the creaking and clattering of the seismic forces beneath the island using Northwestern University’s Earthtunes app. This seismic activity is usually not audible to humans, but the researchers transform the seismic frequencies into audible pitches. It’s like translating the squiggly lines of a seismometer into sonic data. Iceland is situated on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian plates are pulling apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle. It’s also located on top of a hotspot where magma is especially close to the surface. Things are particularly hot-tempered at the moment. On November 12, there were 1,000 quakes in Reykjanes Peninsula and many suspect that a volcanic eruption of Fagradalsfjall is imminent. The risk is so high that Icelandic authorities excavated the fishing town of Grindavík after giant cracks formed along its roads. The activity is formidable, exciting, and scary. It’s a reminder that Iceland’s southwestern peninsula is now facing decades of volcanic instability ahead.
