Abstract

There are 82 volcanoes active during the 48 weeks of 2019 (January 30 to December 31, 2019; USGS data) Approximately 80~90 volcanoes are active on the Earth for a year. More than 91% of these volcanoes are took place in the circum-Pacific volcanic belt, which is commonly called 'Ring of Fire'. This status coincides with the distribution maps of active volcanoes on the earth: about 80 percent on subduction zone of the convergent plate boundaries; 15 percent on divergent plate boundaries; 5 percent on intra-plate zone. Typically five volcanoes are most active during the survey period (48 weeks); Dukono (Halmahera, Indonesia) 48 times, Aira (Kyushu, Japan) 47 times, Ebeko (Paramushir Island, Russsia) 46 times, Merapi (Central Java, Indonesia) 37 times, Krakatau (Indonesia) 33 times. The comparison of volcanic activity between 2018 and 2019 showed no significant difference. It is assumed that volcanic activity remains stable.

2019년(2019년 1월 30일~12월 31일; USGS 자료) 48주 동안에 활동한 화산은 82개이다. 지구상에서 화산은 1년간 평균 80~90여 개가 활동하고 있다. 이들 중 91% 이상이 흔히 "불의 고리"(Ring of Fire)라고 부르는 환태평양화산대에 위치한다. 지금까지 밝혀진 활화산들의 80%가 판의 수렴경계부, 15%가 발산경계부, 나머지 5%가 판 내부에 분포한다는 사실과 잘 부합된다. 조사 기간인 2019년 1월 30일부터 2019년 12월 31일에 이르는 48주 중 가장 빈번하게 활동한 화산들은 Dukono(인도네시아, 48회), Aira(일본, 47회), Ebeko(러시아 46회), Merapi(인도네시아, 37회), Krakatau(인도네시아, 33회) 화산이다. 2018년과 비교할 때 분화한 화산수가 1개 감소하였으나 이는 2018년 화산활동은 50주, 2019년은 48주와 비교할 때 현격한 증감은 발생하지 않았다. 이는 지구상의 화산들의 활동이 안정세를 유지하고 있는 것으로 평가된다.
