A series of volcanic eruptions along Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula has been linked to an 8.8-magnitude earthquake that recently struck the region. The Krasheninnikov Volcano erupted for the first time in over 500 years, releasing an ash plume approximately 3.7 miles into the atmosphere. Experts assert that the earthquake activated magmatic centres, directly causing the volcanic activity. Subsequent eruptions from local volcanoes have led to significant ash cloud warnings. The Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team issued alerts due to the potential impacts on aviation and ongoing volcanic activity.
Experts believe the eruptions in Kamchatka are triggered by an enormous 8.8-magnitude earthquake. Dr Alexey Ozerov states that the earthquake activated magmatic centres, infusing them with extra energy.
On Sunday, the Krasheninnikov Volcano erupted historically after over 500 years, sending an ash plume 3.7 miles into the sky and prompting an aviation 'red alert' warning.
