40 Volcanoes Are Erupting Right Now, And 34 Of Them Are Along The Ring Of Fire
January 9, 2016/ Earthquake, Fragile Earth

Our planet is becoming increasingly unstable and the rate of this instability has increased over the past decade but we’re still not doing anything about it. As of writing this, 40 different volcanoes around the world are erupting and out of these 40, 34 volcanoes are along the ring of fire. It’s a dangerously high number. Just look at the calculations below to get an idea at the kind of number you are looking at.

Total number of volcanoes erupting during the 20th century is 3,542.
On average, 35 volcanoes have erupted per year during the 20th century.
Current number of volcanoes erupting is higher than the average volcanoes erupting per year in 20th century.

It’s not just the higher number of volcanoes that are erupting this year but there are other ecological and geological changes that threaten the existence of earth. You may have noticed that the earthquake activity has also peaked during the past few years.

It’s not a short-term change in earth’s geological behavior but it’s part of a long-term change that can be traced by studying the seismic activity. Perhaps it’s time that we start paying attention to warning signs and prepare for such anomalies in advance or maybe it’s the time we start caring for the earth.

earthquake activity has increased

In recent weeks we have seen significant earthquakes in Michigan, Texas, Mississippi, California, Idaho And Washington. In addition, it is being reported that pressure is building in dormant volcanoes in Arizona and California. Just because we have not had a killer earthquake or a large volcanic eruption in the U.S. in recent years does not mean that it will always be that way. Right now the entire planet appears to be waking up, and this especially seems to be true of the Ring of Fire.
