A Volcano which is located near the border between iran And Pakistan A study has shown that it is about to erupt again for the first time in more than 700,000 years.
Scientist Let us tell you that Taftan volcano, which was considered extinct, is now showing signs of becoming active. Hundreds of thousands of years.
A new study published by Geophysical Research Letters finds that the volcano’s summit may have risen 3.5 inches between July 2023 and May 2024 and is still not deflated.
Researchers said that this shows that a large amount of gas pressure is building up beneath the surface of the volcano. The resulting plume “will have to be released somehow in the future, either violently or more quietly,” said volcanologist Pablo Gonzalez, the study’s senior author. biology,
Mr. Gonzalez reassured that there is no danger of an imminent eruption, but the volcano should still be closely monitored.
“The purpose of this study is not to create panic among people. It is a warning to field officials in Iran to designate some resources to pay attention to this,” he told the publication.
Gaseous emissions were observed by locals in early 2023 and the smell was reported up to 30 miles from the summit.
The massive 12,927 feet high volcano sits atop a group of nearby small mountains formed by the crust of the Arabian Ocean. It is the largest volcano in southeastern Iran.
Because of the mountain’s remote location, it is difficult to monitor it and provide accurate images, but doctoral student Mohammadhossein Mohammadania worked with Mr. Gonzalez to use satellite images to determine the uplift of the base.
Scientists said the surge in volcanic growth was likely caused by gas build-up or magma shifting beneath the vent as a result of a gap in the hydrothermal pipeline beneath the volcano.
Researchers are continuously monitoring the volcano and partnering with other experts to continue the research.
