I'd rather fact-check it with a volcanologist.

Finding patterns is useful in geology and that "Ring of Fire" meme probably did help when the boffins were first sorting out plate tectonics fifty or so years ago.

Now they have studied it in detail, and also have general volcanology to draw on. They have moved beyond that. Trust the experts, not YouTube, tabloids, and other such sources.

It's too bad that these clickbait things get so widespread -- there is true wonder in the actual facts, especially in the bottom-line fact: the huge scale on which Earth operates, both physically and over time.

Puracé has erupted in Colombia; per the GVP, almost 2 million people live within 70 miles of it, but its frequent eruptions are low-level effusive/explosive.

This one started with an explosion:



Also, Puracé is remote -- located within the Andean Belt Biosphere park, which looks very pretty:

Kamchatka's Shiveluch was heard from today and also issued an impressive pyroclastic flow (no people live that close to it, I believe):



Edit: Oops, video can't be embedded but it's worth watching. The cloud sort of reminds me of Redoubt's.
