"Okay, what life is waiting for us today?"

"What life? Brother, you're sleeping too hard."

"What does it mean?" Franklin was a little confused.

"Wait, did you find nothing?"

“What exactly did you find?”

"Well, I underestimate your sluggishness."

Patting Franklin's shoulder, Rama pulled Franklin out, and said angrily: "Damn it, bastard, ****, our warehouse collapsed, and our goods were all finished..."

When Franklin was pulled out of the door by Rama, he looked in astonishment at the street outside the door of the house. An unprecedented crack spread across the entire street, looking to the left and stretched to where it stretched.

The streets were full of people, and everyone had an uneasy look on their faces.

"This is……"

"earthquake."

Rama cursed, "A damn earthquake destroyed our warehouse, and the goods were all out there, and Cos would not let us go."

"Earthquake, my god."

If Franklin could look down at a height of hundreds of meters, he would find that more than one crack had appeared on the edge of Los Angeles. A sudden shock shocked the entire city. The sound of fire trucks roaring everywhere in the city, running towards the place where the fire broke out due to the earthquake.

...

...

On the rugged country road, the farm in Iceland is in summer, which is as prosperous as in previous years, and is a peaceful scene. Every year, such beautiful scenery attracts many tourists from all over the world. For example, at this time, Dr. Maien saw several tourists from outside the car window, holding a SLR in hand and photographing the beautiful scenery of the farm.

He sighed, withdrew his gaze from the window, and fell back on the tablet in his hand, his eyes full of worry.

After driving along the farm road for about twenty miles, you can see that you are getting closer and closer to Mount Katra, the main volcano in Iceland is frozen all year round, in sharp contrast with the green grasslands and forests at the foot of the mountain. Just below this volcano, Dr. Mahn's destination for this trip is about to arrive.

"Chichi..."

The worn pickup truck suddenly stopped and almost made the tablet in Dr. Maihn fly out.

"Sorry, this car is indeed time to retire."

The old man who took off his hat and smoked a cigar said this, but he said it without any apology.

"Thank you, Kerui."

"Don't be polite old friend, I'll go back first. If you want me to answer you, just call me. Of course, I can't guarantee that I have time at any time. You'd better call me in the afternoon."

"I understand, please say hello to Nanlin."

When I opened the car door and walked down, someone came out of the observation station in the distance. When I saw Dr. Mai'en's figure, I immediately said happily: "Dr. Mai'en, why are you here so soon?"

"Haha, Ryan, we've been missing for a long time."

"Yes, Dr. Maihan, the last time we met was three years ago."

After coming over to help Dr. Maien hold the suitcase, Ryan said, "I thought you would come tomorrow, but I was ready to pick you up tomorrow... Why don't you call me in advance?"

"I know you're very busy, so I won't bother you anymore. Ke Rui happened to send me over when he has time."

Following Ryan towards the observatory, Dr. Maihan said as he walked: "When did this abnormality start?"

"It was about two weeks ago."

Pushing open the gate of the observation station, Ryan clapped his hands and said, "Jack, Boss, you two come here, this is Dr. Maihan..."

"Dr. Maien, these are my two assistants."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Looking at the two young men's restrained appearances, Dr. Maien greeted him. Perhaps his kind expression made the two young men look much more relaxed.

"Dr. Maihan, do you need to take a break first, or..."

"Let's get into the topic as soon as possible, I'm not tired yet."

"Okay, Dr. Maien, please come here."

Taking Dr. Maihan to the five monitors connected in parallel, Ryan operated the mouse to enter the interface he needed.

"Since two weeks ago, we have monitored a series of thousands of small earthquakes near Catra, most of which are magnitude 1-2 earthquakes, with the source 7-10 kilometers below the Catra formation..."

On the monitor, the Hengxing radar image that monitors volcanic signals shows that the crust in this area is like waves. Although the degree of ups and downs is not large, only about 1-2 cm, in Dr. Maihn's eyes, this is undoubtedly a clear sign that underground pressure is accumulating.

The magma from deep in the earth was moving, and although he could not confirm where the magma was heading, there was no doubt that this pressure would inevitably be released somewhere.

On another display screen, data such as the specific time, epicenter position, focal depth, magnitude, epicenter distance and other data of these earthquakes were displayed. Dr. Maihan took a look and moved to the other display screen, where there were recorded vertical waveforms of P and S waves and spectral feature quantities. These feature quantities and dynamic feature quantities can be used as short-term forecast indicators.

For normal continental plates, these thousands of earthquakes are really insignificant and very normal. However, if these thousands of small earthquakes occur in volcanic areas, then attention must be paid.

"The last two eruptions of Mount Katra were in 1955 and 1999, right?"

Dr. Maihan looked back at Ryan.

"Well, yes, neither eruption destroyed the 10km-diameter ice layer of the crater."

Ryan nodded.

"But it's less than 8 miles from the Eyafiadela Glacier."

Dr. Maihan looked solemn.

The last time the Eyafiadela Glacier Volcano erupted in 2010. The result of that eruption resulted in the cancellation of 100,000 flights in Europe, and the spreading ash floated over the European continent, turning the sky into gloomy and sunshine.

The eruption of Eyafiadela Glacier Volcano is 8 miles east of here, and it is so close.

"Dr. Maien, you said a few years ago that the eruption of the Eyafiadela Glacier volcano was just the beginning, and the pressure on the earth's crust has not been fully released?"

"Yes, I don't think Eyafiadela will release all the pressure. I studied all the records from 934 to the present. Eyafiadela's Ayafara volcano usually erupts a few years earlier than Catra volcano, and verified this guess five or six times before that volcano erupted. After that volcano erupted, I had recorded the roll meter many times and found that the slope of Catra has been changing tendencies..."

"I think so too, Dr. Maihan..."

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."

Before Ryan could finish his words, the whole room began to shake. As geophysicists, the two men understood in an instant what was going on.

earthquake!

And it is an earthquake of at least magnitude 4 or above.

Ryan shouted, "Come out quickly."

There is a flat grassland outside, which is definitely much safer than hiding in the house.

Without saying a word, Ryan pulled Dr. Maihan and ran outside. Only a few people ran out of the door, and the sudden earthquake stopped.

The outside still looked like a grassland, but the heavy atmosphere filled the air with heavy eyes.

"Walk."

Without saying much, Dr. Maien ran back to the room.

The entire volcanic observatory has installed more than 60 seismometers near Mount Catra and Eyafiadela, as well as dense sensors and magnetometers, which can accurately record all earthquake conditions.

After more than ten minutes of busyness, Ryan looked at the data on the monitor and said: "The total scalar seismic moment is converted into a moment magnitude Mw, which is about 4.8, and the direction of the fault node 1 is equal to 120°\/inclination angle is equal to 30°\/sliding angle is equal to 75°; the direction of the node 2 is equal to 310°\/inclination angle is 57°\/sliding angle is equal to 95°. The depth of the center of mass of the waveform fit is 9KM."

This is a magnitude 4.8 earthquake.

“…”

Dr. Maihan thought for a while and suddenly said, "Where is the phone number? I want to contact the Meteorological Bureau."

"Uh, Dr. Maihan?"

"They should be able to find the Coast Patrol plane, right? Let's go to the ice sheet near Eyafiadera to check it out."
