Volcanic Activity

Volcanic Activity

25th June 2018

Volcanic activity is a normal and necessary process for planets (please read my essay about planets, for context). Lately, there has been some devastating volcanic activity which I’ve been following with some concern. They’ve sadly caused loss of life and also many homes have been destroyed or impacted.
We’ve also been experiencing earthquakes which is also a normal planetary process, however, the frequency combined with the intensity, is also something I’ve been following with concern.
It’s my opinion that the earthquake that caused the fissures on the Hawaiian Island, just recently, may well have averted a seriously violent eruption by releasing significant pressure from the volcano. (Leilani)
Our mining activities and removal of fossil fuels is interacting with Earth’s core. My concern is that our continued activities will initiate a very large volcano. The core has to expand and in so doing will necessitate a larger volcanic expulsion. There will be very little we can do to prevent such a volcano from becoming. There have been such volcanos in the past, however they should not be occurring naturally in this current period of Earth’s development. The planet has to expel volcanic matter for its own wellbeing. The cores’ activity is essential to Earths rotation. Just as we have responses, for example, if we sustain a cut there is an immediate reaction to clot and stem the blood flow. The planets core has to react and counter for any surface changes. Our combined activities are impacting the planet as well as it’s climate. Our activities effecting the core will result in more volcanic activity and earthquakes and sudden expansions of our core will result in larger and stronger output of volcanic expulsions and stronger quakes.
Therefore, just as it’s time for the fishermen and our species to let the ocean recuperate and hopefully give back to it as we should, (fish have to eat too) it’s time for the oilmen and the coalmen to take this issue seriously and curtail their activities and give back to the planet by taking their wealth and making a change for the betterment of Earth and all life upon and in it. And I know the old argument, jobs etc. there are jobs in fish farming, there are jobs in renewable energy, if we find ourselves in the midst of one or more super volcanoes erupting and/or earthquakes in our cities, it won’t be about jobs, it will be about survival.
In case of the suggestion, the planet cannot make numerous volcanoes to cope with additional expulsions, this would require too much effort and resource, it will create super volcanoes.
