Hello, my name is Golden_whitehand, and I aspire to be a golden unemployed. There are numerous indications that Baekdu Mountain is attempting to erupt. It's a super volcano that erupts every 2,000 years, and when it does, it's said to cause ice ages all over the world, so I can't imagine how amazing it is. That is how concerned and interested scientists around the world are in the signs of Mt. Baekdu's volcano, but I can't imagine what will happen if the volcano erupts.

CNN reported in an article titled "Baekdusan Cheonji Volcanic Earthquake Activity" that a magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred near Samjiyeon County in Yanggang Province, North Korea, near Cheonji Caldera Lake 2,744m above sea level. However, no damage has yet been reported, and in Korea, a micro-earthquake was detected near Baeknokdam on Hallasan Mountain in Jeju Island in March 2018, and it is reported that it affected aircraft operations over the Korean Peninsula during Mt. Shinmoade's eruption in September 2019. As a result, it is critical to plan ahead of time because you never know when or how Mt. Baekdu will erupt. We'd like to look at how to react in the event of Mt. Baekdu volcanic eruptions and volcanic ash.

< Signs of Volcanic Explosion and Action Tips >

First of all, we need to look at the signs of volcavic eruptions, but there are the following phenomena.

• Hot spring water temperature rise
• The release of gas
• Volcanic earthquake increases
• Surface cracks

 

 

If you notice any of these signs, you should take the following actions

• Evacuate to a safe location as soon as possibel
• Take note that the wind is blowing in the oppsite direction as the volcano
• There is a risk of landslides near the mountain's summit or slopes, so keep it as far away as possible
• Close the windows and doors, go under the desk, and protect your head if it's inside the building
• Wear a mask and move as low as possible during nighttime activities
• Stop on the right side of the road, activate the emergency lights, and follow the in-vehicle announcement

It's best if Baekdu Mountain doesn't erupt, but there are so many of activity that it's worth knowing just in case.

 

Have a nice day^^
