Volcanoes are rumbling as scientists monitor earthquakes at Washington's Mount Rainier and Alaska's Iliamna volcano.

Severely Affecting Marine Life In 2022, an ocean eruption apparently left several underwater beings grasping for breath. This eruption occurred due to the Hunga volcano, which released a 37-mile plume into the atmosphere,

And the eruptions can make warming worse, melting more glaciers.

This is now the largest recorded earthquake swarm at Mount Rainier since seismic monitoring at the volcano began in 1982, the Cascades Volcano Observatory said. With quakes ongoing, the swarm has already surpassed a major event in 2009 “in terms of magnitude, total events, event rate, and energy release.”

Since Mount Shinmoedake began erupting on June 22, experts are continuing to closely monitor the southern Kyushu volcano in the event the volcanic activity veers from past flare-ups.

Giant, large-scale eruptions can have more serious impacts. One such event contributed to the demise of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Giant volcanoes also triggered events that led to the largest mass dying on Earth, the Permian–Triassic extinction 252 million years ago).

A series of earthquakes near Japan’s remote Tokara Islands over the past two weeks, along with a major eruption from a long-dormant volcano earlier this week, has added to growing speculation about a disaster striking Japan on July 5.
