Mercury deposit and herring

Móberg Mountain .orbjörn has risen by 7 centimeters in recent days due to constant landslides that occur at high speed. The center of the ridge is under the northwest corner of the mountain.

Mercury infusion at about 4 km depth is thought to cause the landslide. Unlike the repeated deposits in Fagradalsfjall in recent years, where vertical mercury shoots through the earth’s crust, it is believed that a so-called “herring” is forming under Thorbirn.

Silla (also known as lagging) is simply a horizontal deposit that penetrates into the earth’s crust and lifts the land above it. The mercury that feeds the inlet comes from a mercury storage or compartment that rests deeper in the earth’s crust, even down on the borders of the earth’s rust and moth. So far there are conditions in the crust under Ennorbirn so that it is easier for the mercury to spread horizontally in the form of herring rather than looking upwards in the form of a vertical mercury.

It is estimated that about 7 cubic meters per herring flows up every second. The herring is increasingly valid in addition to the fact that it spreads horizontally, but each of them pushes landris on the surface. The longer that process goes on, the chances that mercury will shoot itself out of the herring increases, which could lead to volcanic eruption. Such a quick walk does not necessarily have to be shot out of the middle of the landslide, but can be recorded on the edge of the herring and search beyond the landslide itself. This happened e.g. 2010, when a kite ran out of herring under the middle of Eyjafjall Glacier and appeared on Fimmvörðuháls.

Ah, the wonders of google translate!

Mercury is obviously supposed to be magma.

Herring is probably a sill, I would assume.

Kite might be dike.

Silla and Lagging may also mean sill.

Gotta love this. I got a really good laugh out of it. Thanks!

I think there's some translation errors in there. Are they talking about actual murder or is it supposed to be magma?

I don't believe it for a second.

There's nothing in there about Hákarl deposits causing blockages and forcing the mercury to either back up or be diverted.

Sill in Swedish = herring, so I do suspect that you’re right about that.

Could this sorta gaffe account for USSR's mythical 'Red Mercury' ??

I'm also reminded of the infamous agricultural presentation about the uses and benefits of 'Water Goats'...

Much confusion dissipated when these were belatedly identified as 'Hydraulic Rams'.

Uh, not the sort on back-hoes, but the self-pumping variety, discarding much of flow to drive rest significantly up-hill...
