Re: Can Chaiten eruption affect Puerto Aysen's "proto-volcano"?

Dear Belba:
Pueto Aisen in not that close to Chaiten. According to GoogleEarth map
is about ~280 KM. It is very dificult that the evnte of last year in
the Aisen Fjord are correlated. Also Volcan LLaima made a eruption
january 1st, 2007.
On my opinion all the region is experimenting some unusual tectonic
activity. The little town of Chaiten, about 10 Km from the Volcano has
been evacuated(5000), but animals have stayed there (20000 cows). Some
people are waiting a ash avalanche like in Pompey, but since ther are
no volcano instrument on the region is dificult to predic the future
of these eruption. Buy the way the Volcan Chaiten is very small ~800
to 900 meters and can be easy seen on Google earth.

Just wondering. A little over a year ago there was that 6.2 earthquake
in Puerto Aysen that caused a landslide and resultant deadly tsunami
in the harbor, and there had been ongoing swarms of earthquakes for a
while before that and afterwards that were said to be due to an
upwelling of magma several miles under Aysen Fjord that would
eventually form a volcano there. There was a quake reported in the
local paper on 3/30/08 that was felt in both Puerto Aysen and Chaiten,
in Mercall II to III range.

Chaiten is not really close to Puerto Aysen, but it's not that far
away, either. They are both in the northern section of Region XI. It
is said that the volcano hasn't erupted for several thousand years;
now that it has erupted, I wonder what effect that might have on the
situation at Aysen, if any.

look at those millions of worlds and not feel that there may well be
wonderful universes above us where reason is utterly unreasonable?�

�No,� said the other priest; �reason is always reasonable, even in the
last limbo, in the lost borderland of things. I know that people
charge the Church with lowering reason, but it is just the other way.
Alone on earth, the Church makes reason really supreme. Alone on
earth, the Church affirms that God himself is bound by reason.�

The other priest raised his austere face to the spangled sky and said:

�Yet who knows if in that infinite universe � ?�

�Only infinite physically,� said the little priest, turning sharply in
his seat, �not infinite in the sense of escaping from the laws of
truth...Reason and justice grip the remotest and the loneliest star.
Look at those stars. Don�t they look as if they were single diamonds
and sapphires? Well, you can imagine any mad botany or geology you
please. Think of forests of adamant with leaves of brilliants. Think
the moon is a blue moon, a single elephantine sapphire. But don�t
fancy that all that frantic astronomy would make the smallest
difference to the reason and justice of conduct. On plains of opal,
under cliffs cut out of pearl, you would still find a notice-board,
�Thou shalt not steal.��
