Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:The July 30 8.8 magnitude earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula has triggered a series of volcanic activity in Russia. A July 30 earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 was the strongest earthquake off the coast of Russia since 1952, according to the Russia Academy of Sciences. “We attribute the eruptions to the earthquake, which activated the magmatic foci and provided them with additional energy,” he says. Of the 29 active volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Klyuchevskoy volcano has been one of the most prolific since the earthquake. If that’s the case, there’s a lot of magma movement getting altered right now on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
