Powerful energy release emanating from the Earth’s core recorded? Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes. The International Geodynamic Monitoring System, a part of GNFE (London, UK), has registered on November 15, 2011 a powerful energy release emanating from the Earth’s core. The intense three-dimensional gravitational anomaly was almost simultaneously recorded by all ATROPATENA geophysical stations separated by vast distances from each other in the following cities: Istanbul (Turkey), Kiev (Ukraine), Baku (Azerbaijan), Islamabad (Pakistan) and Yogyakarta (Indonesia).

According to GNFE President Professor ElchinKhalilov, the detailed analysis of ATROPATENA station records indicates a powerful energy release emanating from the Earth’s core. According to the scientist, this fact may herald intensification of geodynamic processes in our planet and as a result, a higher number of strong earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. Meanwhile, 15 November 2011 all ATROPATENA stations registered, almost simultaneously,a very powerful gravitational impulse. Mud volcano in Taiwan expels mud up to two meters deep.

Volcanos Slide Silently To Their Death. East of Fiji, between Tonga and Samoa, is a feisty, earthquake-prone fault zone called the Tonga Trench that is the second-deepest submarine canyon in the world. Researchers have found that dozens of giant, flat-topped old undersea volcanoes quickly march toward the trench, ultimately taking the final plunge into the abyss. Earthquakes and resulting tsunamis are a concern at the Tonga Trench, just as they are along the Japan Trench and the even deeper Mariana Trench to the south, near Guam. BLOG: Time-Lapse Animation Shows Japan's Earthquakes A whopping 10.9 kilometers deep in some areas, the Tonga Trench marks the boundary where a westward-moving chunk of the earth’s outer crust, the Pacific plate, is forced downward beneath the Indo-Australian plate next door.

Geologists long assumed that the destruction of giant volcanoes along these so-called subduction zones might add to the risk of earthquakes there. WIDE ANGLE: Japan in Crisis The ultimate fate of the volcanoes is still unclear.
