    Ecuador volcano spews red-hot rocks, billows ash

    QUITO, Ecuador (AP) — The Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador is spewing out red-hot rocks and billowing coarse ash.

    The South American country's Geophysical Institute says the increased activity began Sunday afternoon. It says the volcano has thrown pyroclastic boulders up to a mile from the crater, and there have been at least four earthquakes in the area.

    The 16,480-foot (5,023-meter) volcano is in a sparsely populated area about 84 miles (135 kilometers) southeast of Ecuador's capital, Quito. It has been active since 1999.

      Active since 1999! Wow. How much co2 has it released into the atmoshere since then? That's one greenhouse gas contibutor we won't be able to do nything about.

        That one volcano is probably the equivalent of a few hundred yrs of all SUVs.

        According to the "EXPERTS" volcanic activity world wide has only contributed a small fraction of what people do.

      The Mayan calender states that Dec. 2012, a global event is to happen that will change the world as we know it. I believe its the 22nd and it the day that their 500 year calender comes to an end.

      This volcano is so big I have not been able to see the top of it in four visits, it is always covered by clouds. Its name means Throat of Fire in Quechua, and for the surrounding native towns, and including two larger cities, this is big news. This volcano erupts, tens of thousands will be dead and 1/3 of Ecuador would be cut off with no roads in or out.

      The Bible Bangers are at it again. Doomsday, end of the world as we know it.
      Earthquakes, volcanos, tornados, floods, hurricanes, drought, war and rumour of war.
      ALL of the above have been happening since the earth was formed, and humans inhabited this place.
      Yet, the religious nut cases rave on about the second coming ???

        From a bible created by a lunatic pope that picked and chose only what he wanted others to read and manipulated it into a huge money making enterprise. There are so many writings that it would fill the libraries of the world and most are shunned by the clergy because they speak the truth and true meaning of the one true God. Ever wonder why none of the prophets wrote anything down. Because people now worship the words not the message or the heart of God. The Bible isn't holy. The heart of man is.

      Yes, active since 1999, but volcanos are not the cause for global warming. Only man causes global warming.
      • Tim 6 mths ago
        Sure AJ, Sure. So the world has never warmed up until man became industialized 300 years ago. lol Sure AJ

      Isn't this volcano on the Bush Fault?

      Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano last Sunday, Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador this Sunday. Floods, famines, earthquakes, revolutions spreading across the middle east and here in north america.

      People look around you, even if you don't believe in God you must see and recognise the devastating events taking place around the globe has increased substantially.

      Please, I urge you all to pay attention to Matthew 24, this was all foretold over 2000 years ago.

      Jesus is coming soon. I pray you open your eyes and accept him.

      May God have mercy on us all.
