Just below millions of people there is a supervolcano that has begun to show signs of reawakening. The supervolcano, Campi Flegrei, is a 8 miles wide and sits beneath the Bay of Naples offshore Italy.
Recent monitoring of the volcano points to a reawakening of one of the largest volcanos in Europe.
Scientist believe that magma at the Campi Flegrei volcano in Naples is reaching a level designated by ''critical degassing pressure'' (CDP). This is characterized by sudden release of water-rich gases in vast volumes, which could lead to rock failure and explosion of the volcano, the report, released late last month, said.
''We propose that magma could be approaching the CDP at Campi Flegrei, a volcano in the metropolitan area of Naples, one of the most densely inhabited areas in the world, and where accelerating deformation and heating are currently being observed,'' the eight scientists said in the report.
There have been some reawakening signs in Campi Flegrei since the 1950s, from some low earthquake activity to hidrothermal degassing, with a pause in early 2000s. But in 2005, there were new uplifts and further activity has been recorded.
The full supermoon on November 14, 2016 will be an extraordinary sight! A rare, once-in-a-life-time sky event.
This supermoon will have a dramatic effect on the tides and, for many people, November's Full Moon will be the largest and brightest Full Moon of a lifetime.
The supermoon (perigee full moon) on November 14, 2016, will bring the moon closer to Earth than it has been since January 26, 1948.
What's more, the moon won't come this close to Earth again until November 25, 2034. That makes the November 2016 full moon the closest and largest supermoon in a period of 86 years!
The moon will turn at 8:52 a.m. EST (1352GMT), just 2.4 hours after it comes within just 221,541 miles (356,536 km) of the planet. (The moon's average distance from Earth in its elliptical orbit is 238,900 miles, or 384,470 km).
Expect a large range in ocean tides (exceptionally low to exceptionally high) for the next few days.
Major earthquakes may be triggered by the moon say Japanesse researchers
A new study has argued that major earthquakes, such as those that devastated Indonesian in 2004, Chile in 2010 and Japan in 2011, are more likely to occur during full and new moons - the two occasions during each month when tidal stresses are highest.
Researchers found ''that there is strong correlation between tidal stress fluctuation and earthquake occurence in several regions close to the epicenter of the Tohoku earthquake''.
The study, published in the journal 'Nature Science' and conducted by a team from the University of Tokyo, argues that the same gravitational influence that the moon has on the oceans may also trigger earthquakes along Earth's most fragile fault lines.
The reasearch team calculated the levels of 'tidal stress' before major earthquakes of the last few decades and found that high levels of stress were often followed by major quakes.
Something is happening to the ground beneath our feet. The earth is literally opening up. Before 2010, skinholes were a relatively uncommon phenomenon. Now they are appearing almost daily. But why so many skinholes and why now? In a word...electricity. Strange as it may sound.
The Electric Universe theory, or Plasma Cosmology, can account for this unprecedented phenomenon. Plasma cosmology sees the universe as a giant electric motor being driven by the exchange of charged particles.
''Gravitational systems are the ashes of prior electrical systems'' - Hannes Alfven. Which explains the mechanical and electromagnetic forces responsible for skinhole formation.
Skinholes are usually explained away by ruptured underground water pipes or gradual soil erosion. Even in places where no such piping exists. While standard scientific theories may account for a few. They do not explain ones like these. Nor can it account for the vast number of new skinholes forming around the globe.
Here is a simple illustration of the electromagnetic and mechanical forces behind skinhole formation:
The activity of the sun is directly related to the rotational speed of the earth. The more energy that is produced by the sun, the faster the earth spins. Like an electric motor, there is an charged potential difference that drives our planet's rotation. The sun is currently in a period similar to the Maunder Minimum, with very low solar activity. Low solar radiation means less positively charged protons reaching the upper atmosphere and the negatively charged earth decreases. Resulting a slowing down of the earth's rotation.
A slower spin causes the earth to become less oblong like an oval and more circular like a sphere. the induced mechanical stress causes deformations. Resulting in cracks, cavities and fissures.
There is also a potential difference between the earth's crust and the core. And because the upper atmosphere is now less positive. It also attracts less electrons from inside the earth ti its surface. Thus decreasing the potential difference between the surface and the core. This potential difference acts as a binder of the planet, pulling the surface and the core together.
When the potential difference drops, the earth's crust becomes loose, creating pockets of space beneath the surface. The stress on the crust produced by these two combined mechanical and electrical forces results in an increase in earthquake activity.
This loosening of the earth's crust produces cracks and openings resulting in an increase of volcanic activity. And lastly, the subterranean space created by the loosening results in the increased formation of skinholes.
Skinholes are not an isolated phenomenon. They are also related to earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, strange sounds and extreme weather.
This is only the beginning...
