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:
Ambae (Vanuatu) - Report for 20 August-26 August 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 03:30:31 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department (VMGD) reported that the eruption at Ambae continued during 21-26 August, with explosive activity producing tall ash plumes on 25 August. Continuous plumes of gas, steam, and ash were visible in satellite and webcam images drifting NW during 21-24 August and drifting NE on 25 August. Sulfur dioxide gas emissions were at moderate to high levels, and seismicity indicated high levels of activity. Thermal anomalies were identified in satellite data. The Wellington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) reported that ash plumes were significantly higher during 25-26 August. The eruption escalated at 2040 on 25 August, and by 2124 an ash plume had risen to 16.5 km (54,000 ft) a.s.l. and was drifting E based on satellite images. The ash plume altitude decreased to 15.2 km (50,000 ft) a.s.l. by 2153 and to 12.8 km (42,000 ft) a.s.l. by 0013 on 26 August. A strong sulfur dioxide signal was also detected. Ash plumes continued to be detected during the rest of the day on 26 August rising 3-4.6 km (10,000-15,000 ft) a.s.l. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 0-5), and the public was warned to stay outside of Danger Zone B, defined as a 3-km radius around the active vents in Lake Voui, and to stay away from drainages during heavy rains.

Karangetang (Indonesia) - Report for 20 August-26 August 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 03:30:31 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) and a news source reported that an eruption at Karangetang?s North Crater (Kawah Dua) continued during 20-26 August. Daily white plumes rose as high as 400 m above the summit and drifted in various directions. Incandescence at both the North and South craters was visible in some webcam images throughout the week, but was stronger at North Crater. Seismicity was variable but at high levels, and rumbling sounds were occasionally heard. Incandescence at the North summit and from the lava flows on the flanks was visible in webcam images at 0019 on 26 August and at 0737 on 27 August. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was advised to stay 1.5 km away from both craters, with an extension to 2.5 km on the NW and SW flanks of North Crater.

Klyuchevskoy (Russia) - Report for 20 August-26 August 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 03:30:31 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Kamchatkan Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) reported that the eruption at Klyuchevskoy continued at the summit crater during 20-26 August. A thermal anomaly was identified in satellite images on most days; weather clouds sometimes obscured views. Ash plumes periodically rose as high as 6 km (19,680 ft) a.s.l. and drifted as far as 500 km NE and E. The Aviation Color Code remained at Orange (the second highest level on a four-color scale). Dates are based on UTC; specific events are in local time where noted.

Krakatau (Indonesia) - Report for 20 August-26 August 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 03:30:31 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG) reported ongoing eruptive activity at Krakatau during 20-26 August. Daily ash-and-gas plumes that were a mixture of white, gray, and black colors rose 100-400 m above the summit and drifted mainly NW, W, and SW. Several webcam images showed incandescent material being ejected above the crater. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a scale of 1-4) and the public was advised to stay 3 km away from summit.

Nevados de Chillan (Chile) - Report for 20 August-26 August 2026 - New Eruptive Activity
Datum: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 03:30:31 -0400
Beschreibung:
The Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería (SERNAGEOMIN) and the Servicio Geológico Minero Argentino (SEGEMAR) reported that a passive, low-altitude, and low-energy ash plume from Nevados de Chillán drifted S on 12 August. 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 1 km. The Sistema y Servicio Nacional de Prevención y Repuesta Ante Desastres (SENAPRED) maintained an ?Early Preventive Alert? for Pinto and Coihueco.

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.
