[Video] JAMSTEC reported volcanic island in south of Tokyo might be the beginning of a new rising continent

Following up this article.. Seawater becoming yellowish green in 2km and 4km area offshore volcanic island in South of Tokyo [URL]

 

On 7/15/2015, it was announced there is a possibility that the volcanic island in 1,000 km South of Tokyo might be the beginning of a new continent by JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) and Earthquake Res. Inst., Univ. of Tokyo et al.

They pointed out the fact that the usual continental crust consists of andesite and granite, and oceanic crust consists of basalt, however all the magma spewed out from the former volcanic island at the same location was “andesite” 40 years ago. This former volcano is now absorbed by the new volcanic island.

They suggested the hypothesis that the eruption process of this new volcanic island is showing the very moment of a new continent rising.

 

From the latest report of the Maritime Safety Agency, the new volcanic island is 12 times bigger than the absorbed former volcanic island.

They report that the crater on the top of the volcano stopped erupting but a new crater appeared on the body of the mountain.

[Vidéo] La JAMSTEC rapporte que l’île volcanique au sud de Tokyo pourrait être l’émergence d’un nouveau continent

Le 15 juillet 2015, selon la JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), l’Institut de Recherche Sismologique, l’Université de Tokyo et all., il est possible que l’île volcanique située à 1 000 km au Sud de Tokyo devienne un nouveau continent,

Ils mettent en avant le fait que la croute continentale est habituellement composée d’andésite et de granit, alors que la croute océanique est essentiellement basaltique, or, tout le magma déversé il y a 40 ans par l’ancienne île volcanique qui était au même endroit était “andésitique”. Cet ancien volcan est à présent absorbé par la nouvelle île volcanique.
Ils avancent l’hypothèse que le processus éruptif de cette nouvelle île volcanique nous présente le tout premier moment où un nouveau continent apparaît.

Selon le dernier rapport de la Maritime Safety Agency, la nouvelle île volcanique est 12 fois plus grande que celle qu’elle a absorbée.
Ils rapportent que le cratère au sommet du volcan a arrêté son éruption mais qu’un nouveau cratère est apparu dans le corps de la montagne.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
