Japan's Seismic Reality: Unraveling the Pacific Ring of Fire| Special Report| Oneindia

Japan, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, faces heightened seismic threats.

This horseshoe-shaped zone, marked by the Pacific Ocean's rim, is a hotspot for earthquakes and volcanoes.

Tectonic plate complexities, including the Philippine Sea Plate's subduction beneath the Eurasia Plate, fuel Japan's seismic activity.

The recent magnitude-7.0 earthquake in Kumamoto, though historically significant, reflects Japan's ongoing vulnerability.

While this event lacked tsunami risks, aftershock concerns persist, underscoring the nation's perpetual seismic vigilance.

The Ruang volcano in Indonesia's North Sulawesi province erupted multiple times, prompting the evacuation of over 800 people. The eruptions, triggered by recent earthquakes, emitted lava and ash clouds, prompting authorities to raise the alert level. Residents were relocated to Tagulandang Island for safety as the volcano spewed hazardous "explosive hot clouds." Indonesia's location in the seismic "Pacific Ring of Fire" heightens the risk of volcanic activity. #RuangVolcano #Ruang #NorthVolcano #Indonesia #Indonesianews #IndonesiaVolcano # #Worldnews #Oneindia #OneindiaNews ~HT.97~ED.194~

Heatwave Spell: IMD warns of heatwave spells in April | El Nino, La Nina | Oneindia

The seven-phase Lok Sabha polls season will witness an unprecedented rise in the heatwave in most parts of the country, the India Meteorological Department warned here on Monday. While above-normal temperatures are likely almost all over the country, 10-20 days of heatwave is expected between April and June in different parts against normal of 4-8 days. The most heatwave prone areas are Gujarat, central Maharashtra and north Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. β€œMore heatwave days are expected in an El Nino year. The El Nino (an unusual rise of temperature in the Pacific Ocean with impacts all over the world) is still there in April-May even though it is receding and may become neutral by June,” Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, director general of meteorology at the IMD said. What are El Nino and La Nina and how do they affect the weather conditions? #HeatwaveSpell #IMDWarning #ElNinoLaNina #HeatwaveIndia #AprilHeatwave #LokSabhaElections2024 #ClimateAlert #WeatherForecast #ExtremeHeat #StayHydrated ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.155~GR.125~
