Magma plume: 5.7 magnitude earthquake near Ascension Island

Posted on August 11, 2011 by The Extinction Protocol

August 11, 2011 – Ascension Island –Those of you who are following our magma plume map of activity can see that we have another major earthquake being reported at a magma plume. A 5.7 magnitude earthquake at a depth of 9.4 km was reported in the Ascension Island region. The quake was followed by a 4.8 aftershock at a depth of 10 km- a third earthquake at the same depth measured 5.2. The region also had an earthquake swarm on July 9-10 of this year. This means a good portion of the planet’s plumes are now showing activity. –The Extinction Protocol See plumes

Hi Alvin!
Just don’t understand how a EQ with magnitude 5 can do this?
Here in Chile we have 5-6 magnitude every week

  Monomontana- it depends on a lot of factors. The geology of the region, type of soil, the fault, if it’s a lateral and horizon shaking close to the surface like in the case with New Zealand, a 5.0 earthquak can be very destructive. Also in remote regions of the world, most buildings are not seismically hardened- they’re simply rustic dwellings.

Mid Atlantic Ridge had increasing seismic and volcanic activity I the last weeks and months! If it goes on like this, New York, Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro have to learn swimming! Volcano or earthquake: at least one of them will cause a gigant tsunami!

Alvin n all – what, exactly, does this imply? Thx!

  Tectonic plates boundaries under the ocean occur at rifts called mid-ocean ridges which are divergent regions where the sea-floor is spreading. Mid-ocean ridges are geologically very active and volcanic in nature. This happens to be occurring where there is a hot-spot or magma plume- Ascenion Island. For some time now, I’ve been discussing the idea that geolgoical time-scales can be dramatically accelerating through periods of catastrophism where very rapid change can occurr with the Earth over a relatively short period of time. Tectonic plates are becoming more agitated- which means more earthquakes, sea-floor spreading is accelerating, magmatic and thermal pressures are increasing inside the planet- which means the magnetic reversal also is accelerating.

I found this interesting video on what the Tibetan Monks heard a day before the Japan earthquake, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZLlgpAqcW4

Peace,
I really appreciate your website! Most scientists in the mainstream media are obviously gagged.

@ Jens Skapski – can you please provide your source info on the increased volcanic & earthquake activity at the Mid Atlantic ridge.. PS I didn’t see much commentary on the recent earthquakes originating in Colorado and Virginia.

Would anyone care to share their thoughts?
Blessings, GODDESS9
