Shiveluch’s latest eruption occurred early on November 03, when a ground report issued by Russia’s Institute of Volcanology and Seismology noted a thick column of ash climbing to an estimated 33,000 ft (10 km) a.s.l., and moving in a NW direction towards the Sea of Okhotsk, as reported by rg.ru and the watchers.news.
Particulates ejected to altitudes above 32,800 feet (10 km) often linger in the stratosphere where they have a direct cooling effect on the planet.
BACKGROUND
Stratovolcano: 3283 m / 10,771 ft
Kamchatka, Russia: 56.65°N / 161.36°E
Current status: ERUPTING (4 out of 5)
Shiveluch volcano is highly explosive and has a recent eruptive history littered with VEI 4s and 5s. It’s known for large pyroclastic flows, and as one of Kamchatka’s largest and most active volcanoes.
Eruption list: 1739(?), 1800(?), 1854 (Plinian eruption), 1879-83, 1897-98, 1905, 1928-29, 1930, 1944-50, 1964 (sub-Plinian, large dome collapse and debris flow), 1980-81, 1984, 1985, 1986-88, 1988, 1989 1990-94, 1997, 1998, 1999, 1999-ongoing
UPTICK
Seismic and Volcanic activity has been correlated to changes in our sun.
The recent global uptick in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is likely attributed to the drop-off in solar activity, coronal holes, a waning magnetosphere, and the influx of Cosmic Rays penetrating silica-rich magma.
