South Korean Volcanoes


Historial South Korea Volcanoes
 South Korean Volcanoes are Hallasan, Seongsan Ilchulbong, Songaksan (Jeju) and Ulleungdo ( Volcanoes_of_South_Korea ). On the Jeju island of  South Korea, Hallasan, a shield volcano, erupted in 1007 A.D. (Volcano Hallasan ). On the eastern coastline of Jeju isle of South Korea, Seongsan Ilchulbong,  a tuff cone volcano, formed approximately 5,000 years ago due to hydrovolcanic eruptions ( Volcano Seongsan Ilchulbong ). On the Jeju island of the South Korea, Songaksan, a parasitic cone volcano, is a basic volcano (Songaksan (Jeju) Volcano ). On the east of the South Korean island or Sea of Japan, Ulleungdo, a stratovolcano, erupted in 7350 BC ( Ulleungdo Volcano  ). South Korea has many volcanoes, but it is mostly on the islands ( Jeju_Volcanic_Island_and_Lava_Tubes ).  If South Korea  does not have active volcanoes, other places such as the border area of the Korea [North-South Korean Volcanoes] (volcanoes_in_Korea ), China or Japan could have some. Below are an images of volcanic islands.


Below is an image of the Korean volcanoes that are active from South to North.

Warning Volcano Website

Global
The global world of the warning volcano websites are called Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System , Global Volcanism Program , Volcano Discovery &  Meteologix . Below are the warning volcano websites in the order of popularity.

Local

The local warning volcano website is called Korea Meteorological Administration  (Current State: KMA/current_state/volcano & KMA/current_state/neighborinhg_countriers ). Below is the “Current State” revealing the nearby countries, Japan and China who are neighbors to Korea, and have active volcanoes in their homeland.

Volcano Safety tips

 This website is called National Geographic: volcano-safety-tips , but also has tips to help people around the world. Below is that website, image, explains about be safe from the volcano.

Other Volcanic Information of South Korea

If you want know and read about South Korean volcanoes, this article, world.kbs.co.kr , discusses world heritage site and volcano in South Korea. Below is the article that has an explanation of the history of the heritage site.

 The following map shows parts of volcanic rocks in South Korea ( mdpi ) and demonstrates that some parts are yellow & others have white and black stripes. Below is the map and image of the layers of the rocks.
 One volcanic database website is called Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History Global Volcanism Program ( Database; Volcano Search ). Below are the images to demonstrate the eruptions, names and types of the volcanoes from the database.

    Hello Luis,
    I love the detail in your post is about volcanoes! I had no idea that South Korea had that many. I like how you added safety tips in your post, and enjoyed reading about all of the information that you found throughout your research!

    Fantastic detailed post this week. Korea has plenty of volcanic hazards for sure.

    Hi Luis,

    What an amazing post! There is so much detail and knowledge that you put in it. I decently love all the photos due to me being more of a visual person.

South Korea: Tectonic Plates & Plate Boundaries

Tectonics : Extensive “geological processes that” disfigure Earth’s lithosphere (creating land forms that include continents, ocean basins or mountains.) [p.33] However, tectonic plates is accountable for most destructive natural hazards (ex. Major tectonic plates include volcanoes and earthquakes that connect to plate boundaries. ) [p.34] Major Tectonic Plates Major Tectonic Plate (Lithosphere Plate) are Eurasian Plate, which South Korea is located in it. Below the tectonic plate map and the black outline arrow, which it show where South Korea is. White triangle is active volcanoes, colors dots is earthquake, and light blue line with triangle attachment is subduction zones. Also, the black line is major tectonic plates.

South Korean Coastal Hazards

Coastal Hazards Although South Korean coastal hazards are linked to other natural disasters ( such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, typhoons, landslides, flooding, sinkholes and climate change), the main coastal hazards are focused on the rip current, coastal erosion, waves and any type which is related with the water type ( including the ocean, beaches, waves, the sea   and   the coastal line). Coastal hazards are not huge disasters like other natural disasters, but it still can be potentially dangerous because the other natural disasters come from the coastal hazards. During my research, I found that the coastal hazards in South Korea were mainly focused on coastal hazard management and prevention. Coastal hazards is similar to the soil subsidence due to many type elements (such as nature, Earth and life) and issues (such as geography of the locations, and component element of the areas). The result is that coastal hazards have minor impacts and can be visible danger

South Korean Earthquakes

H istorial South Korea Earthquakes In the past, South Korea used to have serious earthquakes that impacted its history. For instance, South Korea had a range of magnitudes between 6.7-7.5 in its own history. These higher/ powerful magnitude of the earthquakes include : Gyeongju which was approximately 6.7-7.0 magnitude in 779 ; In 1518 in Seoul there was an approximately 6.7 magnitude ; In 1643, Ulsan approximately  6.7-7.4 magnitude ; and  in Yangyang , approximately 7.5 in 1681. Fortunately, South Korea has lowered to a 6 magnitude since 1978. Also, South Korean earthquakes are always equal or stronger than magnitude 5.0. [   1978 and later Earthquakes in South Korea  ] South Korea Magnitude There are plenty of earthquakes in South Korea that are lower than 5.0 magnitude in the area, but some of them have equal or higher than a 5.0 magnitude ( lower than 6.0 magnitude). This map and statistic show magnitudes in South Korea. Statistic on Korean Peni
