Eruption and earthquakes at San Cristobal 1 Citation Eruptions and earthquakes go hand-in-hand a lot of the time. It only makes sense as magma needs to move under the crust, causing movement (i.e., earthquakes). Additionally, any sort of explosions caused by the release of volatiles might cause earthquakes or even the collapse of an edifice (which in turn, shakes the earth). So, it is not surprising that the current eruption at San Cristobal in Nicaragua has produced earthquakes. The reports are relatively lacking in details, but San Cristobal is, technorati.com

The last mini-update for Redoubt ? for now? 1 Citation AVO has officially downgraded the status at Redoubt from ?Watch? (orange) to ?Advisory? (yellow) .

All the signs were there at Redoubt - increased seismicity, increased heat flow at the summit (seen as melting ice and increased fumarolic output), increased volcanic gases (CO2 and SO2) - but a, technorati.com
