In Australia it was discovered three unknown ancient volcano Bashny.Net

The news that came from Australia, will delight those who want to make a discovery in the field of geography, but considers that everything has been studied before. It turns out, not all. Scientists from Monash University proof. Specialists accidentally discovered three previously unknown ancient volcano.





Nakhodka is located in the state of Victoria, on the territory of the so-called Australian New volcanic province.

The discovery is doubly surprising because this area is considered to be absolutely quiet. The last active eruption, according to scientists, there were more than 5 000 years ago. However, the active period lasted about 4.5 million years.

Local residents have reacted to the news: printed themed cards and bags with the logo of the manufacturer which should attract tourists to the area. All three of the sleeping giant are located close to each other.

Generally, a New volcanic province is quite extensive and amounts to over 19 000 square kilometers. There are over four hundred different volcanoes. Here is the young volcanoes of Australia – mount Gambier and Schank.

As for the last three volcanoes, the largest of them was named CAS Maar. This fiery mountain with the mind is a broad and relatively low volcanic crater of 1 kilometer wide. Edge height is about 30 m. All those interested can find Kas-Maar through 37 miles from Hamilton, if you move to the East.

This discovery casts doubt on the deceptive calm in the region. Apparently, the New volcanic province still are active processes. The researchers say that several times in different parts of the plateau they were able to fix the temperature rise and even the release of carbon dioxide.

If you take into account the fact that volcanoes in Australia erupt once in 11,000 years, it is impossible to completely eliminate the likelihood of new eruptions. Although the last known awakening of the sleeping giants in this area occurred about 5,000 years ago, and time seems to be still there, experts from the school of Earth Sciences at Monash University do not exclude a shift of time intervals in the direction of reduce.
