A volcano on New Zealand's North Island has erupted for the first time in over 115 years, creating a thick cloud of ash that disrupted regional travel and prompted nearby residents to stay indoors Tuesday. Inactive since 1897, Mount Tangariro erupted late Monday, sending a wall of ash over 6,000 meters into the sky and filling the air with a strong sulfur-like smell. The explosions startled residents but did not cause injuries or damage in the sparsely populated central North Island region, which is a designated national park. The eruption prompted the cancellation of several domestic flights, though international flights were not affected. New Zealand officials had observed increased seismic activity at the volcano in recent weeks, but were not expecting the volcano to blow. They now say more eruptions could occur with little or no warning. New Zealand is part of the "Ring of Fire," an area in the Pacific where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur. www.voanews.com/content/dormand_for_115_years_new_zealand_volcano_unexpectedly_blows/1474968.html

electric theory of earthquakes (volcanic eruptions and global warming!?) and sunspots "The missing link between the sunspots and earthquakes is the fact that the electric discharges to the Sun that cause sunspots can also affect the Earth’s ionosphere. The ionosphere forms one “plate” of a capacitor, while the Earth forms the other. Changes of voltage on one plate will induce movement of charge on the other. But unlike a capacitor, the Earth also has charge distributed in rock beneath the surface. And if the subsurface rock has become semi-conducting because of stress, there is an opportunity for sudden electrical breakdown to occur through that rock. We should expect similar processes to occur underground as is found in atmospheric lightning. There will be precursor electromagnetic effects due to the small-scale travelling of charge – rather like “stepped leaders” between cloud and ground. That may be the limit of activity in small tremors. But in a large earthquake, the entire circuit may be involved, from below the Earth, through the atmosphere to the ionosphere. This would explain the massive disturbance of the ionosphere over a large area accompanying a major earthquake. The mystery of the source of the current is solved – it comes from a charged Earth. And the link with sunspots via the ionosphere is exposed. Subterranean lightning causes earthquakes! Seismic waves are the rumble of underground thunder. The energy released may be equivalent to the detonation of many atomic bombs but only a small proportion need come from the release of strain in the rocks. Most of it comes from the Earth’s stored internal electrical energy." www.holoscience.com/wp/electric-earthquakes/

electric theory of volcanoes and sunpsots! "Large “telluric currents” have been found circulating through Earth’s crust because our magnetic field induces current flow in conductive strata. Thousands of amperes flow beneath the surface, varying according to conductivity. Since the Sun can affect Earth’s magnetic field through geomagnetic storms, fluctuations in telluric currents can occur when there is an increase in sunspots or solar flares, because they create oscillations in the ionosphere." "Since magma can be considered a form of liquid plasma, it can also conduct electricity. As the ionosphere is charged up by solar flares, opposite charge is attracted to subterranean magma. Electric currents in plasma pinch down into filaments and form double layers. Electromagnetic forces between current filaments and between double layers can cause sudden pressure variations." www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2011/09/09/earthquakes-and-volcanoes/

Watching ball lightening roll across rocks will make your asshole water tight.

I don't think it's going to go up there!

Watching ball lightening roll across rocks will make your asshole water tight. Watching old Gary Glitter footage does too. Especially if you were in "Gary's Gang" back in the day.

A huge cluster of floating volcanic rocks covering almost 26,000 square kilometres (10,000 square miles) has been found drifting in the Pacific, the New Zealand navy said Friday. The strange phenomenon, which witnesses said resembled a polar ice shelf, was made up of lightweight pumice expelled from an underwater volcano, the navy said. An air force plane spotted the rocks on Thursday about 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) offshore from New Zealand and warned a navy warship that it was heading towards them. news.yahoo.com/bizarre-rock-ice-shelf-found-pacific-104349304.html
