A volcano in southwestern Japan erupted Sunday after nearly two weeks of relative silence, sending ash and rocks up to four kilometres (two and a half miles) into the air, a local official says.
It was not immediately clear if the eruption was a direct result of the massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake that rocked northern areas Friday, unleashing a fierce tsunami and sparking fears that more than 10,000 may have been killed.

Obammma would ask if any of his base voters were damaged. He’d send in buses, but demand that conservatives sit in the back

Someone needs to Photoshop Al oGre’s head onto that pic!
No.
It’s called Plate Tectonics.
It happens 24 hours a day, and seven days a week for billions of years.
But as I said before, some people on FR think this stuff just started happening around last Tuesday.
Contrary to popular opinion, Earth itself is evolving.
I watched the 1998 American remake of Godzilla the other day.
After I saw it, and the critter was done for, I started wondering what you’d do with a couple of thousand tons of irradiated lizard meat lying in the middle of the street. How do you go about cleaning that up? What would you do with it- saw it up and truck it to New Jersey somewhere?
But after 52 years of quiet. More likely it was the other way around - the volcano eruption was a precursor to the earthquake.
Order lots of barbeque sauce.
(you never heard of road kill?)
what's next??
this just in....
Charlie Sheen?
Hasn’t Japan suffered enough?
Japan Earthquake Triggered Volcano Eruption In Russia?
The major earthquake that hit Japan today may have just triggered some volcanoes in Russia as well. While reports are still vague on the incident, there is a strong correlation between the two occurrences. In Russia, there are reports that earthquakes where felt during the eruption.
Age dating of rocks from the Moon tells us that Earth's age is about 4.6 billion years.
Locusts, UFOs, the Obamas, and the island tipping over from all the weight of the tsunami water?
The third punch to worry about is disease. Water shortages, sewage and dead bodies everywhere.
LOL... and the earthquake was a 3.0
Maybe the erruptions were the early warning of the quakes?
You’re right - status quo for the earth is change... Of course the changes happen in slow motion - like watching a tree grow.
This was written in the fall of 2009, well before the events of the past week. The combination of this unprecedented disaster and the preexisting demographic problem may mean the end for Japan as we known it

“Is Japan Dying?”
TOKYO-LONDON — Thanks to the miracles of modern technology, I’m writing this 31,000 feet above ground level, somewhere over Siberia, on the plane back from Tokyo in that limbo time zone where it seems to be neither day nor night.
And I’m pondering the meaning of Japan’s population statistics, which make chilling reading for the newly-elected government after last Sunday’s earthquake election.
Imagine a country that knows it is shrinking. A country that knows it is ageing more rapidly than any other major industrialised nation on earth. Which has the highest proportion in the world of people over the age of 65, and the lowest ratio of under 15s. That country is Japan.
As I reported on Wednesday, on current trends, the population of Japan will have halved by the end of the century.
It is, literally, a country that is slowly dying.
According to one United Nations estimate, it’ll need to import 17 million foreign workers over the next 40 years, just to keep its economy afloat and provide enough carers to look after the elderly. (By 2050, there will be more than a million Japanese over the age of 100.)
me, I vote for the sun as the source of heating and cooling.
