For most of the 20th century, the central mystery of volcanoes has not so much concerned the behavior of the mountains themselves -their chemistry and plumbing has long been the subject of study- but rather their roots deep within the earth.
A planetary cataclysm occurred approximately 12,256 years ago, which destabilized Earth's energetic grid and at the same time the multidimensional matrix. The ancient Andean people were familiar with the series of energy nodes that accessed higher dimensional planetary planes in the galactic consciousness. Their pursuing in the understanding about the use of such powerful language were of an exploratory, expansive, and mostly, elevating nature and intention. However, as other energetic influences began to dominate the planet they left their places when destruction and chaos were their dominating force arriving to this Andean region. Their intention was completely the opposite to the one who guided the highland people and whatever they did not understand they destroyed it. It should be noted that a powerful place does not guarantee sanctity, energies can be accessed and channelled for many purposes. And, in the case of the Andes, the multiple planes of energy invested in it still co-exist in the complexity of space-time, from an extensive energetic history that reflect a variety in the type of soul, project and intention that people have to fulfill their purpose in the living world.
The first glimmering of objective understanding about what happened in that cataclysm emerged in the 1960s from the theory of plate tectonics. According to this theory, the earth's outer layer, the lithosphere, is an ever-changing mosaic of huge, rigid plates, which float on an astheno-sphere of hot, plastic rock. Thermal convection currents in this level drive the plates a few inches a year creating a quilt of collisions, side-by-side slippage and separation.
Volcanoes are concentrated on two boundaries: sub-duction zones and rifts. In areas of sub-duction, one plate grinds beneath the other, melting parts of both and sending magma spurting to the surface.
At rifts, where convection pulls plates apart, the up-welling magma extends their edges. These two forces always balance: as sub-duction destroys a plate at one edge, rift volcanism rebuilds the opposite side. This symmetrical model accounts for most volcanoes.
The question of "where magma comes from and how it is generated" still are the most speculative even today. Plate tectonics provides only some of the answers.
Volcanic phenomena, subterranean noises, eruptions, etc., coincide with atmospheric phenomena and the terrestrial magnetic field, and the phenomena of man made electromagnetic field is the cause of alteration of the natural interaction between them.
Andean volcanic actions assume a distinctive and periodic character. The zones of disturbance usually extend deeper and around the centers of subterranean action. What is known as a volcanic center is in general a group of centers of action.
In Ecuador, for example, the Valley where the city of Quito sits and the majority of the region's 2.5 million people live, is encircled by two chains of volcanoes, the one Eastern, the other Western. The city and its suburbs are a complex urban sprawl, layered into multiples Valleys and sliced up by ridges. Cotopaxi (5,897m) poses a bigger risk. The volcano woke up in June 2016 from a 75-year slumber. Hundreds of minor earthquakes were localized in the area and Cotopaxi began belching sulfur dioxide and ash. The emissions were modest and not dangerous but it hinted at the possibility of a larger eruption. The picturesque mountain now is the world's most dangerous active volcano because it is so close to a major metropolitan area.
-Purace (Fire Mountain) at an elevation of 4,650m/15,000ft, is another active volcanoes located in the Parent Mountain Central Range in the Cauca Department in Colombia. Large explosive eruptions occurred in 1849, 1869, and 1885. There have been about dozen eruptions in the 20th century, the most recent one being in 1977. On this occasion, volcanic ash was deposited 7km/4.3mi away. An opening in the crust emitted gases that were seen near the summit in 1990, and hot springs emerged from some of the lower slopes.
Satara, Pasto, Rucu, Pichincha, Quirotoa, Autisana, Sangay, Misti, Atacama, Illascar, Llulaillaco, Coquimbo, Aconcagua, and Tupungato.
-Sangay (5,300m), active volcano located isolated East of the Andean crest above the Amazonian rain forest in central Ecuador. It is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world and one of Ecuador's most active one, despite erupting only three times in recorded history and the fact that the eruption that started in 1934 is still ongoing. There are three active points, the most important of them is the center itself, the two others being situated one to the North, the other to the West.
-Pichincha (4,784m) an active volcano with two high peaks (Wawa=child, Ruku= old)whose Ecuador's capital Quito wraps around its Eastern slopes. On May 24, 1822, General Sucre Southern campaign in the context of the Spanish-America war of independence, came to a climax when patriot forces defeated the Spanish colonial army on the South-East slopes of this volcano at 3,500 above sea-level where there was little room to manoeuvre. The engagement, known as the Battle of Pichincha, secured the independence of present-day Ecuador.
Pasto, Rucu, Quirotoa, Autisana, Misti, Atacama, Illascar, Llulaillaco, Coquimbo, Aconcagua, and Tupungato, are also active volcanoes along the Andes.
The existence of active internal fires in Andean regions far removed from volcanoes and the volcanoes themselves demonstrate the metaphysical reality of the human conscience, the earth, and the cosmos.
The beautiful ice that crowns the volcanoes shows the purity of nature without the touch of man but the pollution that destroy the balance in the forces of nature comes directly from man's hand.
