The Zombie Volcano of Bolivia's "Zombie" is a rumble, despite which hundreds of thousands of years, and scientists now consider it to know why it wakes up.
The underworld of the southwest of Bolivia was the last erupted about 250,000 years ago. For decades, it has released gas clouds, shocked by earthquakes and causes the surrounding ground, causing fears to erupt lava.
However, according to the new study published in PNAS magazine, unusual activity is explained by the mountain and gas movement.
A large volcano is 6008 meters above Uturunu. It is a stratochrophuk, hardened with many layers of lava, volcanic ash and rocks (sedimentary) large, steep, conical volcano.
Stratochrabkhic eruptions are often explosive, because lava is dense and therefore easily absorbs the gas. Saint-Hlelens Mountain and Vesuv are both stratochrodes.
Uturunu is called Zombie volcano because of its continued but not raging activity, researchers write in their scientific work.
Uturunu is located at the top of the Altiplano-Puna Magma (APMB), which is spread in the subsoil of South Bolivia, Northern Chili and Northern Argentina. Altiplano-Pounite Magma's body magma can be pushed up and accumulated on the surface.
The presence of a Magma body under the volcano can show that Uturunu is going to erupt lava.
In a new study, scientists have analyzed the signals of more than 1,700 earthquakes, to understand what is happening under the volcano, and have studied the properties of the rocks around the volcano, to determine how seismic signals can interact with the land.
They found that the vibrations and earthquakes observed on Uturiyku could be explained by the movement of liquids and gases, not below the Magma, which means that the volcano was not ready for eruption, as earlier assumed.
The discovery can also help researchers find out if other volcanoes in the world are ready for eruption.
