Global Volcanic Activity Normal Despite Multiple Eruptions

Simultaneous Eruptions in Japan, Russia, and the Philippines; Experts Reiterate Normalcy

Four volcanoes have been captured erupting simultaneously in videos shared on social media, with ongoing eruptions reported in Japan, Russia, and the Philippines.
The Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program, which tracks eruptions globally, has reported 19 eruptions currently, including two new ones in Japan and Russia.
The Russian volcano, Klyuchevskaya Sopka, has been erupting since mid-June, with its ash plume reaching 40,000 feet above sea level and extending 1,000 miles to the east and southeast.
Sicily's Mount Etna in Italy recently began erupting, with its volcanic discharge reaching 4,500m above sea level.
Despite the number of eruptions, experts maintain that the current volcanic activity is normal, with 40 to 50 eruptions typically happening at any given time.
