Earthquakes in Koryakia, Russia

[Sydney007]

I've been tracking the earthquakes in Koryakia, Russia and wonder what triggered them. There
are volcanos in this area. But I wonder if the platinum mines there which harvest about 10 tons
of this metal a year can also be a cause of the earthquakes?

There're no volcanos in that area. They're too far away to cause earthquake there. It was typical tectonic event.

Please scroll down the list to see the " tectonic" events recorded. Satellite
images of a volcano in the area also show significant activity.

Newsflash!!!

In 1998, scientists discovered a large redistribution of the earths' mass!!!

Edgar Cayce also predicted it???

http://www.huttoncommentaries.com/PS..._precursor.htm

Could this change in mass be due to the oil and other elements mined from the earth?

As the earth heats, will this cause more gas to fill the empty spaces left in the earth
from mining? How does this affect volcanoes?

I still wonder where you see "volcano in the area". Most northen volcanos of Kamchatka are volcanos of Kluchevkoy group and Shiveluch, but they're far away to the south. If you look at the map http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/.../10/170_60.php, they're situated in left-bottom corner of it. Huge distance. There're "volcanos in the area" of my town, but there're no volcanos in Koryakia.

Isn't this area like part of Russia's volcano alley, along the Kamchatka peninsula? Most big earthquakes occur in subduction zones where one tectonic plate moves under another - and this one did not.

YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK, April 24 (RIA Novosti, Pyotr Tsyrendorzhiyev) - Mount Ebeko, a volcano on the island of Paramushir, which belongs to the Northern Kuril chain in Russia's Far East, has started emitting vapor and gas, a local emergencies official said Monday.

"A weather station in Severo-Kurilsk, a town seven kilometers (about 4 miles) away, has reported that the volcano was emitting vapor and gas," the spokesman said, adding that a team of researchers from the Volcanology and Seismology Institute based on the Kamchatka Peninsula was monitoring the volcano.
According to experts, there are 36 active volcanoes on the Kuril chain, and at least seven others are also considered to be dangerous, including the Mendeleyev, Golovnin, Tyatya, Grozny, Baransky, Chirip, and Chikurachki.

This year, the volcano emitted vapor and gas in February, following phases of activity in 2005, 1999 and 1998, but calmed down in March.
