There is an opinion that Belarus from two to six volcanoes, but they are very ancient, extinct and buried under the heavy layer of sedimentary and clastic rocks, announced volcanologist Alexander Goncharov in an interview with SB. Belarus Today".


According to him, all of them are concentrated in the Pripyat aulacogen is omitted block of the earth's crust in the valley of the river Pripyat, which konturen faults. < / br>
these faults and was rising magma from the depths of the Earth, forming volcanoes. They were found during a search of oil and gas production and exploration on the territory of Belarus. Geological drilling in the area dobrusa and Zhlobin had traces of volcanoes at depths of 500-800 meters. The expert believes that they were active 350-370 million years ago. < / br>
According to Alexander Goncharov, these ancient extinct volcanoes can ever be revived. All the matter is that Africa is moving North at 8-14 cm per year and is rotated clockwise, thus she "dives" under the European continent, that does not preclude the activation of ancient volcanoes. However, it can happen only through 100-150 million years. < / br>
