What price is plate tectonics then?
 

What makes one volcano present, makes others do so too.

Mount Redoubt was becoming unstable but the latest news is that a
Japanese one has just torched. The North Atlantic has started
convergence weather once more so that's the end of the activity build
up. Whatever made the mountains erupt may continue in this phase but
we've had the end of the beginning -so far.

There is quite a lot of repetition in the next few week's phases. I'm
in the middle of sorting out all my charts and it is a major cock up
after the settingsof one account screwed up. So no links, yet.

If only I was autistic and capable of running Linux. I'd have
everything in order, at all times. I'd never discover much worth
knowing though as apparently it takes a peculiar forced anarchy to get
so disorganised I can see other-wisely.

From the Guardian.co.uk:
Mount Asama spewed ash and smoke up to 2,000 metres into the air in an
eruption early today. The 2,500-metre volcano sent chunks of rock
hurtling as far as 1km away, Japan's meteorological agency said. No
damage or injuries were reported.

The town of Karuizawa was blanketed in a fine layer of powder, while
light clouds of ash reached Tokyo, 90 miles away.

Mount Asama's last major eruption came in September 2004, when the ash
was thick enough to damage local crops. A much bigger eruption in 1783
killed an estimated 1,500 people.

Today's eruption coincided with increased volcanic activity elsewhere
in the region, with minor eruptions reported at Mount Sakurajima, in
south-western Japan, and Karymsky, on Russia's Kamchatka peninsula.

Japan is home to 108 active volcanos, about 10% of the world's total.

The worst eruption in recent memory, at Mount Unzen in 1991, killed 43
people*. In 2000, an eruption at Mount Usu, on the northern island of
Hokkaido, forced the evacuation of 15,000 people.[/quote]http://

What price plate mechanisms now then?

*BTW "The worst eruption in recent memory, at Mount Unzen in 1991,
killed 43 people." because they'd gone up there for the purpose of
being bloody stupid.

i have a question regarding these plates.. is it true that what causes greenland to not have these earthquakes is the unpresent tectonic plates.. greenland is the biggest island as i have researched so all islands, technically wouldnt have earthquakes, right?
