Fantale volcano (Ethiopia): earthquakes, ground cracks suggest magma intrusion - precursors of new eruption?

-

 Since early September 2024, a series of earthquakes has been shaking the area between Fantale and Dofen volcano in the Awash area of central Ethiopia, about 150 km northeast from the capital Addis. Several quakes have reached magnitudes of up to almost 5 and destroyed many houses.

Ground cracks have opened up, and some of them began to erupt hot water, some in the form of small geysers and steam explosions. Satellite data show that the ground has risen by up to 30 cm over a length of around 10 km in the same area.
This suggests that magma is currently intruding (or has intruded recently) underground. It might lead to a new eruption in the near future, or it might calm down and remain as an intrusion.

Important year based on some earthquake events between 2010 and 2011; Feb27,2010>Chile Earthquake_M8.8-06:34 UTC Sep3,2010>New Zealand Earthquake_M7.2-16:35 UTC March11,2011>Japan Earthquake_M9.0-05:46 UTC Sep15,2011>Fiji Earthquake_M7.3-19:30 UTC As maybe more interesting,amazing correlation as time of events that 4522 hours and one minute between Chile and New Zealand Earthquakes 4525 hours and 11 minutes between New Zealand and Japan Earthquakes 4525 hours and 44 minutes between Japan and Fiji Earthquakes Yes,we are witnessing a "perfect equidistance"  as 188 days ~!

New vision that shortly,expressing as "Synergy" With this aim,widening of organisational structure is basepoint.For this,emphasizing to powerfulness of a "mass approach" on observing of European Hinterland on opensource programming language As a conclusion of efforts in this field,a "Data Network Structure System" on Obspy&Python Programming Capabilities have developed. Shortly,reading on internet network of basedata &carrying-out by user of some data process steps.And next,presenting on some types of some conclusions... So,summarying as "Platform Structure" On earthquake researches,providing to international a "synergy" on ground researches besides earthquake via user networks at hinterland countries for establishing as powerful of inf...
