So, now you need to move up to involve pseudo religion Have you been picking your own mushrooms again? Watch it, those things can kill your liver. Are you denying that ocean temperatures have been climbing? Particularly in the higher latitudes?

Volcanic Blast Forms New Island Near Japanby Nancy Atkinson on November 21, 2013 An erupting undersea volcano forms a new island off the coast of Nishinoshima, a small unihabited island in the southern Ogasawara chain of islands. The image was taken on November 21, 2013 by the Japanese Coast Guard. A volcanic eruption is creating a tiny new island off the coast of Japan. The Japanese Coast Guard snapped images and video of the eruption taking place, showing the new island being formed. Footage showed heavy smoke, ash and rocks spewing from the volcanic crater. As of this writing, experts say the small island is about 200 meters (660 feet) in diameter. It is located just off the coast of Nishinoshima, a small, uninhabited island in the Ogasawara chain, also known as the Bonin Islands, about about 620 miles (1,000 km) south of Tokyo. See a video and additional images below.

According to Yahoo News, Japan’s chief government spokesman said they would welcome any new territory. “This has happened before and in some cases the islands disappeared,” Yoshihide Suga said when asked if the government was planning on naming the new island. “If it becomes a full-fledged island, we would be happy to have more territory.” An erupting undersea volcano forms a new island, shown by its nearest neighbor, Nishinoshima, a small unihabited island in the southern Ogasawara chain of islands.

Via Google Maps and the Smithsonian volcano website. According to the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program website, the Japan, Taiwan, Marianas Region is a very active region in the Pacific Ring of Fire and most volcanoes in this region “result from subduction of westward-moving oceanic crust under the Asian Plate. In the Izu-Mariana chain, however, the crust to the west is also oceanic, forming more basaltic island arcs (but with volcanoes that are far more explosive than oceanic hotspot volcanoes).” Read more: http://www.universetoday.com/106645/volcanic-blast-forms-new-island-near-japan/#ixzz38tXqVLwG
