Volcanic Activity Detected on Hasan Mountain

In recent years, Turkey has been in a real sense with natural disasters that have occurred one after the other. suffered the disaster. Earthquakes of at least 5 magnitudes, flood disasters and forest fires in the middle of summer have made us all nervous. However, the latest developments make us think that another natural disaster may be at the door. In the near future, volcanic eruptions We may encounter such a frightening situation.

Aksaray Disaster and Emergency Manager, affiliated to the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) Cezmi Turkmen According to the statements made by Hasan Mountain, volcanic activity was detected in Aksaray and Niğde provinces. After Erciyes with a height of 3 thousand 268 meters Hasan Mountain, known as Turkey’s second largest volcanic mountainThe reason for the activity in Niğde last year 5.1 magnitude earthquake…

Hasan Mountain had erupted in the past 10 thousand years.

“Hasan Mountain volcanism. Volcanism is a geological phenomenon directly proportional to earthquakes. In other words, if there is an earthquake on the Tuz Gölü fault line in our province. also affects volcanism. We have seen and detected this in the 5.1 earthquake that occurred in Niğde in the previous periods, it affects the volcanism. We saw the movement, the uplifts in the magma layer, we detected it.. Hacettepe University and Mineral Technical Research Institute also detected them. They reported them to us.Cezmi Türkmen, who used the expressions “Will Hasan Mountain explode with these statements, brought to mind the question. Hasan Mountain’s passing in 10 thousand years known to explode.

Cezmi Türkmen said that action was taken on the findings and Hasan Mountain was taken under investigation. A situation that happened suddenly after a volcanic eruption. because there is no and the authorized person who mentioned that it showed symptoms until two or three months ago, that the subject will be discussed with the studies to be done and what should be done. will be decided stated. Turkmen said:

We decided that the volcanic activity of Mount Hasan should be studied and followed. Aksaray University scientists said to follow. There was such a consensus between us. We also designed this. Here’s our work there: In particular We will install sensors, GPS and measuring instruments on Mount Hasan. We will set up physical measuring instruments. We will follow the crustal movements and swellings. Some areas have hot water outlets.

We will measure their temperature. Because at a certain temperature, normally 55 degrees, but when this temperature rises, there is a movement. The activation of this volcanism has many parameters. But we will measure all of these parameters. We will measure temperature, but also make gas measurements. We will do chemical gas measurements. We will consider them all in one pot..

At the same time, our aim here is volcanism anyway. does not suddenly explode. First, there are the symptoms. We can measure these symptoms very easily. But our aim is to detect a volcano that shows symptoms 2 or 3 months ago, to detect movement and activity beforehand, and to increase the time interval for the study. That’s our only goal. We will follow the activity of Hasan Mountain volcanism with this project.
