Before you go running up your credit
cards, let's remember, this is a process
that takes a few thousand years. However,
questions are seriously being viewed as to
how far along we are on this 10,000 year
cycle. Some scientists ruminate the Earth
has already journeyed somewhere between
9,985 - 9,997 of this 10,000 year sequence.
Remember, the cause of the Earth's
magnetic pole reversal, as well as
historical severe Earth tilt of perhaps 90°
- is the symbiotic actions and reactions of
mantle plumes, outer core heating,
crystallization, and a growing equatorial
bulge. This interchange is essential to
maintain Earth's orbital balance which is
evidenced by growing mountain ranges, ocean
seamounts, expanding or receding glaciers,
and of course magnetic pole excursions and
finally reversal.
Here is What's Happening Now
Vast Sea of Pumic North of New Zealand
The Royal New Zealand Air Force has
spotted a raft of floating volcanic rock
in the South Pacific, covering 10,000 sq
miles of ocean north of New Zealand. The
volcanic rock, known as pumice, is created
when lava from an underwater volcano comes
in contact with seawater. New Zealand
researchers are unclear on which undersea
volcano caused this event.
A mass of small volcanic rocks nearly the
size of Belgium was discovered floating
off the coast of New Zealand. The stretch of
pumice rocks was first spotted this week by
a New Zealand air force plane about 1,000
kilometers (620 miles) northeast of
Auckland.

Magnitude 7.7 Quake Hits North of Japan
A large earthquake with a preliminary
magnitude of 7.7 hit north of Japan on
Tuesday, the Japan Meteorological Agency
said.
The epicenter of the quake was off the
coast of Hokkaido in the Sea of Okhotsk,
the agency said, adding that no tsunami
warning had been issued.

Volcano Grows at Astounding Rate
An astounding pulse of destruction and
growth at an underwater volcano north of
New Zealand has provided a new insight into
the behavior of submarine mountains. It
added about 8.75 million cubic meters of
rock to its summit in just five days.
The Monowai seamount, which lies at
the intersection of the Pacific and
Indo-Australian tectonic plates at the
Tonga-Kermadec subduction zone, underwent
one of the fastest episodes of volcano
growth documented on Earth. New lava flows
raised that area by 79.1 meters, while part
of the volcano's summit collapsed by as much
as 18.8 meters. Most striking was the
creation of an entirely new volcanic cone.

Canary Islands 'El Hierro' Begins to
Rumble
During the past days, the number of
quakes beneath El Hierro has shown an
increase. Since August 7th, ten small quakes
have been recorded at depths mostly between
10-22 km - which is shallower than during
the seismic swarm in late June-early July.
The largest quake was a M2.4
yesterday at only 3 km depth beneath the
western ridge of the island under the
Tanganasoga volcanic system.

"Super Volcano", Global Danger, Lurks
Near Pompeii
Scientists plan to drill 3.5 km (2.2
miles) below the surface to monitor the
huge chamber of molten rock near Pompeii and
give early warning of any eruption from a
13-km-wide collapsed volcanic caldera.
The Campi Flegrei are similar to the
Yellowstone caldera in the U.S. state of
Wyoming but of more concern because they are
in an area populated by around 3 million
people in the Naples hinterland.

The Electric Atmosphere: Plasma Is Next
NASA Science Target
Beyond Earth's protective atmosphere
and extending all the way through
interplanetary space, electrified particles
dominate the scene. Indeed, 99% of the
universe is made of this electrified gas,
known as plasma (charged particles).
- Mayan's know it as the 5th element
"ether" -
Scientists at NASA have designed a suite
of instruments to answer three broad
questions. Where do the extra energy and
particles come from? Where do they disappear
to, and what sends them on their way? How do
these changes affect the rest of Earth's
magnetic environment (magnetosphere)?

Source of Mysterious Pumice 'Raft' in
Pacific Found, NASA Says
The source of an enormous floating mass
of pumice spotted this week in the South
Pacific Ocean off the coast of New Zealand
has been discovered: NASA satellite images
and other sleuthing science have pinpointed
an erupting undersea volcano called the
Havre Seamount as the culprit.
Many had speculated the Monowai seamount
was the source, however, scientists have
now ruled it out: An airline pilot reported
seeing pumice as early as Aug. 1, according
to a statement by NASA. Monowai is several
hundred miles to the north of the pumice
raft, and it was known to have erupted on
Aug. 3rd.
