They were first photographed in 1968 in Japan. USGS admits their existence. Records of earthquakes that were accompanied by sky lights can be found in 373 BC in ancient Greek writings, that "immense columns of flame" foretold the earthquake that destroyed the cities of Helike and Bura. However, even in the early 20th century they were still considered a myth, until photographs of actual lights were taken in Japan in the 1960s.

Latest El Niño/La Niña Watch Data

Jason-2 continues providing the uninterrupted time-series that originated with TOPEX/Poseidon. Jason is using radar altimetry to collect sea surface height data of all the world's oceans. These images are processed to highlight the interannual signal of sea surface height. The mean signal, seasonal signal, and the trend have been removed. What is sea-surface height? The height (or "relief") of the sea surface is caused by both gravity (which doesn't change much over 100's of years), and the active (always changing) ocean circulation. What are we looking at? These images show sea surface height anomalies with the seasonal cycle (the effects of summer, fall, winter, and spring) removed.

Each image is a 10-day average of data, centered on the date indicated. For additional information visit: Interactive Weather Map. Carte interactive des tremblements de terre.

Terrestrial Volcanoes

-Virgil's Aeneid Volcanoes destroy and volcanoes create. The catastrophic eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980, made clear the awesome destructive power of a volcano. Ironically, these volcanic soils and inviting terranes have attracted, and continue to attract, people to live on the flanks of volcanoes. On August 24, A.D. 79, Vesuvius Volcano suddenly exploded and destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. In the United States on March 27, 1980, Mount St. The word volcano comes from the little island of Vulcano in the Mediterranean Sea off Sicily.
