US EditionRussia earthquake has caused a 'parade of volcanic eruptions': Expert
KAMCHATKA PENINSULA, RUSSIA, AUG 5 – The magnitude 8.8 earthquake triggered simultaneous eruptions of seven volcanoes on Kamchatka Peninsula, marking the first such event in nearly 300 years, scientists said.
- A magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29, triggering simultaneous eruptions of seven nearby volcanoes.
- The earthquake altered crustal stress, possibly easing magma ascent, while experts note such quakes can trigger volcanic eruptions but it is too early to fully assess the events.
- Volcanoes Klyuchevskoy, Krasheninnikov, Avachinsky, Bezymianny, Kambalny, Karymsky, and Mutnovsky showed eruptive or increased activity with ash emissions, lava flows, and seismic signals after the quake.
- Director Alexey Ozerov called this a rare "parade of volcanic eruptions," the first such event in almost 300 years since a similar eruption sequence in 1737.
- Authorities evacuated personnel due to eruption hazards and warned that volcanic ash could pose risks to aviation, signaling ongoing volcanic unrest in the Kamchatka region.

Massive Earthquake Triggers Dormant Volcano To Erupt For First Time In 600 Years
Krasheninnikov-volcano A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Russia last week triggered the activity of seven volcanoes, including one that hadn’t erupted in 600 years. The 6,000-foot-tall Krasheninnikov volcano, which last erupted in 1550, according to the Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program, blew a plume of ash over five miles into the sky. It was also the first time lava flow from the Krasheninnikov volcano has been recorded si…
