Vulkan-Monitor
In einer Tiefe ab 100 km, ist es zwischen 1000 und 1300 Grad Celsius heiß. Gestein beginnt zu schmelzen und sammelt sich in großen, tropfenförmigen Magmaherden in 2 bis 50 km Tiefe. Wenn der Druck zu groß wird, steigt das Magma über Spalten und Klüfte an die Oberfläche: Ein Vulkan entsteht.Augenblicklich aktive Vulkane:
Krakatau (Indonesia) - Report for 8 October-14 October 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 03:11:08 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported an increase in low-level eruptive activity at Krakatau starting in early October. During 21 September-9 October seismicity indicating both shallow and deep magmatic processes did not significantly increase. Minor white-to-black ash plumes were occasionally visible in webcam images rising as high as 50 m above the crater, though weather conditions sometimes prevented views. Satellite data indicated low sulfur dioxide emissions as high as 238 tons per day and low-level thermal anomalies. Five eruptive events were recorded during 6-8 October, followed by nine eruptive events just on 9 October, indicating increasing low-level activity. The Alert Level was raised to 3 (on a scale of 1-4) at 2100 on 9 October and the public was advised to stay 5 km away from summit.

Manam (Papua New Guinea) - Report for 8 October-14 October 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 03:11:08 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre (VAAC) reported that ash plumes from Manam rose to 2.1 km (7,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted E, NE, N, and NW during 8-9 and 11-13 October.

Marapi (Indonesia) - Report for 8 October-14 October 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 03:11:08 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported that activity at Marapi (on Sumatra) continued during 8-14 October. An eruptive event was recorded at 0002 on 13 October by the seismic network but not visually observed due to weather conditions. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was warned to stay 3 km away from the active crater.

Nevados de Chillan (Chile) - Report for 8 October-14 October 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 03:11:08 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería (SERNAGEOMIN) and the Servicio Geológico Minero Argentino (SEGEMAR) reported that eruptive activity at Nevados de Chillán was ongoing in mid-October. A new lava flow was first visible at the summit of Nuevo volcano on 29 September and traveled SW. During a field visit on 1 October scientists observed the ejection of meter-sized blocks as high as 500 m above the summit and outward as far as 250 m. The blocks landed on the flanks and rolled up to 400 m from the crater rim. During 8-14 October activity was characterized by periodic long-period earthquakes indicating fluid movement at depth, and occasional ash plumes and explosions. Weather conditions sometimes prevented views. At 1655 on 8 October an ash plume rose 860 m above the summit and drifted SE. A long-period earthquake was detected at 0330 on 12 October and was associated with the ejection of incandescent material onto the upper flanks. At 1224 on 12 October an ash plume rose 500 m and drifted SSE. A series of consecutive explosions around midday on 13 October produced ash plumes that rose as high as 600 m above the summit, with the tallest plume recorded at 1354. A long-period earthquake was detected at 1548 on 13 October along with an acoustic signal indicating explosive activity; weather conditions prevented visual confirmation. An ash plume rose 400 m at 1558 on 14 October. A few hours later, at 1957, another seismic signal indicated explosive activity. The Alert Level remained at Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale) and the public was warned that an eruption may impact areas within 2 km of the active crater. The Sistema y Servicio Nacional de Prevención y Repuesta Ante Desastres (SENAPRED) maintained an ?Preventive Early Alert? for Pinto and Coihueco and warned the public to stay 2 km away from Emission Center 3 (EC3).

Aira (Japan) - Report for 8 October-14 October 2026 - Continuing Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 03:11:08 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported ongoing eruptive activity at Minamidake Crater (Aira Caldera?s Sakurajima volcano) during 5-12 October. Crater incandescence was visible in nighttime webcam images during 5-9 October. A total of 15 eruptive events during 5-8 October produced ash plumes that rose 1-1.6 km above the crater and drifted in various directions. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a 5-level scale), and the public was warned to be cautious within 1 km of both the Minimadake and Showa craters.

In Deutschland gibt es momentan keine aktiven Vulkane. Der Vulkanismus in Deutschland in den verangengen Jahrentausenden bzw. Jahrmillionen wurde durch Hebung der Alpen verursacht. Dass dieser Prozess noch nicht abgeschlossen ist, zeigen kleinere Erdbeben vom Rheingraben bis zur Kölner Bucht. Die Vulkane, die es in Deutschland gibt spucken zwar zur Zeit keine Lava aus, aber es gibt in Deutschland an vielen Orten heiße Quellen. Diese Thermalquellen sind ein Zeichen dafür, dass Wasser im inneren der Erde erwärmt wird. Vulkanaktivitäten aus vergangenen Zeiten sieht man in Deutschland z.B. auch am Kaiserstuhl in der oberrheinischen Ebene und am Rand der Schwäbischen Alp.
