On Thursday, a new island erupted in the sea near the Balochsitan resort of Sonmiani. The new island appeared in the west off the coast of Sonmiani, according to Muhammad Moazzam Khan, WWF’s Technical Advisor (Marine Fisheries).
He stated that islands appeared in the same spot in 2000 and 2010. Islands appear as a result of excessive geological activity in the area, according to the WWF’s technical advisor, and small islands disappear after a period of time.
After a massive earthquake of 7.7 magnitude rocked Pakistan on September 4, 2013, an island appeared off the coast of Gwadar. The island’s altitude was 20 to 40 feet and its breadth was roughly 100 feet, according to DIG Gwadar Moazzam Jah.
The island appeared at a distance of 350 feet in the sea from the Gwadar coast, according to the DIG. After some time, the island had vanished.
