Natural Science Forum / Earth Science / Earthquakes / January 2006

Lava and ash have been thrown high into the air from one of Guatemala's most
active volcanoes.
Around 27,000 people could now be forced to evacuate the area around the
'Volcano of fire'. Will Grant reports.

Merry Christmas & Happy Chanukah to everyone in sci.geo.earthquakes!
This time of year always makes me think of pop quizzes, for some
reason. So in honor of the tragedy of the Boxing Day tsunami & its
one-year anniversary nearly upon us, I have this little quiz to give.

Hope you are doing well up where you live. Heard the rain is
causing serious problems in your area, landslides, flooding, etc.
Down here a small rain band *finally* moved through. The way the
local news talks you'd think it was the end of the world.
