Recent assessments by the US Geological Survey have raised alert levels for three US volcanoes: Alaska's Great Sitkin and Mount Spur, and Hawaii's Kilauea. Great Sitkin has been placed on 'Watch' as it shows signs of heightened unrest, including ongoing lava eruptions and small earthquakes. Mount Spurr is under 'Advisory' status with a concerning probability of imminent eruption. Meanwhile, Kilauea has recently erupted and is also under 'Watch' due to its ongoing activity that can be dangerous to health. The USGS monitors these volcanoes to ensure public safety and preparedness.
The US Geological Survey raised threat levels for three US volcanoes, indicating potential imminent eruptions due to increased seismic activity and unrest.
Alaska's Great Sitkin is under 'Watch' for emitting lava and showing seismic unrest, while Mount Spur has a significant chance of eruption soon.
Hawaii's Kilauea, having erupted again recently, is currently under 'Watch' due to activity that poses health risks, including gas and ash emissions.
The USGS tracks 169 active volcanoes, utilizing a system to alert the public, demonstrating the importance of monitoring volcanic conditions.
