Oct 5, 2005 (ADDIS ABABA) — Authorities in northeastern Ethiopia have advised 50,000 people to evacuate from a remote region following a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, an official said Wednesday.
The evacuation advice was given in the Afar region after a Sept. 24 earthquake triggered an eruption of the previously dormant Mount Arteala. Another quake measuring 4.2 on the Richter scale struck Tuesday, leading to another eruption, said Manahlo Belachew from the Seismology Department of the Addis Ababa University.
A thick layer of ash that has spewed from the volcano has covered grazing grounds, preventing nomadic cattle herders from feeding their livestock. Several hundred cattle have already died in the region, which borders Eritrea and Djibouti.

Supervolcano - Yellowstone National Park

Is The Forecasting Of The Eruption Of The Yellowstone Supervolcano Possible? - science report - "The magma chamber that was found extends basically beneath the entire caldera. It is approximately 40-50 kilometres long, approximately 20 kilometres wide and it has a thickness of about 10 kilometres. So it's a giant in volume and essentially encompasses a half or a third of the area beneath Yellowstone National Park."
The Park Visitors map.
This may be very significant to the End Days with "fire and brimstone" in large quantities. In recent years it has been discovered that Yellowstone is one of a few known examples of a supervolcano. These volcanoes erupt only rarely; but with a force at least 1000 times that of ordinary volcanoes.
Try to imagine 1000 volcanoes erupting in the same place at the same time.
A large part of the national park area is a giant crater formed by the last explosion 640,000 years ago. It is so large that it can only be seen from space. It fills most of the area covered by this map.
This has only been discovered in the past few years - I only came across it in a BBC TV Horizon program (I now have a copy of this on video). Check the links at the bottom of this page for the BBC transcript of the film.
It explodes regularly every 600,000 years - in between it is quiet, now it is overdue.
Modern humans did not exist last time this exploded but its effects are known - a herd of fossilized rhinos were found choked to death under the ash layer a thousand miles away. This was the first evidence of the size of the eruptions.
Most of America was buried under several feet of volcanic ash - and there were vast amounts of choking sulfurous gases. This has been going on for at least 10,000,000 years. The craters (calderas) from the last 3 eruptions have been identified and date from 600,000 years, 1,200,000 years and 1,800,000 years.
There is a giant blob of red hot magma 8,000 metres below Yellowstone, it has been building up since the last eruption and is fed from below. It is now 50 Km long, 30 Km wide and 10 Km deep and is full of dissolved gasses at enormous pressure.
The gases are the cause of the explosion that occurs once the eruption is underway - the magma pools below the surface under great pressure. When the steady build up of pressure finally forces a way through to the surface the effect is similar to removing the cork from champagne - the gases suddenly leave the liquid they were dissolved in and blow the liquid out of its container. Once an eruption starts it will accelerate until the whole pool of magma explodes, throwing at least 1000 cubic kilometers of hot material high into the atmosphere.
This is likely to happen soon, the area north of the lake has bulged upwards by almost a metre in 50 years. One side of the lake is creeping into the forest as the land rises. This type of rapid change cannot continue for long without something giving way, every year there are hundreds of small earthquakes.
This map shows earthquakes under the park, which occur daily - and the cumulative pattern reveals the likely size of the next crater.
The last time one of these things exploded is believed to have been 74,000 years ago at Toba in Sumatra, there is a large lake filling the caldera at present. The TV program also revealed that other researchers, studying human genetics had found evidence that humans came close to extinction between 70,000 and 80,000 years ago; the global population suddenly fell to around 5,000 people. This is now thought to be due to the effect on the world's weather of the dust from the Toba eruption.
