The largest 'powder keg' on earth, the volume of the Yellowstone magma reservoir is 1150 times that of the Three Gorges, and the earth has entered an ice age

With the eruption of the Tonga Volcano, people are full of concerns about the Yellowstone Volcano. As the only active "super volcano" in the world, its eruption level can reach the highest level of 8. How terrifying is the volcanic eruption of level 8? First of all, the recently erupted Tonga volcano is located at level 5 and the highest level is 6. The eruption of the Tonga volcano directly caused the west coast of the United States to be hit by a tsunami, and this is only what is currently known. The eruption of Level 7 Tambora directly caused 1816 to be the year without summer, and the temperature on Earth has been unstable for the next three years.

Therefore, experts speculate that the eruption of the VEI8 volcano is likely to cause biological extinction. The only good news is that Huangshi Huangshan is still in the eruption period, and its eruption cycle is also relatively long, about 600,000 years. Human beings are vigilant, and there is nothing to accurately detect the time of the volcanic eruption, so Huangshi Huangshan is still the greatest threat to mankind.

Therefore, some people sighed: "Who would have thought that Yellowstone Park, known as the "unique magical place on earth", actually hides the world's largest "powder keg"." Some experts even made predictions about the Yellowstone volcano. Once the volcano erupts, human civilization will be destroyed, and the earth is likely to directly enter the Ice Age.

At that time, the volcano in Indonesia caused the death of 60,000 people. The power of the Yellowstone Volcano was only much greater than it. The height of the eruption in Indonesia has reached 150 cubic kilometers, while the Yellowstone has 1,000 cubic kilometers, and it will also cause global climate change. a big change.

How terrible is the Yellowstone Huangshan eruption?

So some people ask: Why is Yellowstone volcano defined as the most dangerous volcano? In fact, this is because Yellowstone Park is located in a collapsed basin, its magma is very difficult to detect, and according to the data obtained by experts, the Yellowstone volcano has erupted three times, 2.1 million years ago, 1.3 million years ago and 640,000 years ago.

Among them , the eruption 2.1 million years ago can directly cause the United States to be buried by volcanic ash, and there are many harmful substances in the volcanic ash, which also means that once the Yellowstone volcano erupts, the entire United States will be at risk. Not only the United States is at stake, but even the world's living things are in danger of extinction. The eruption of the Indonesian volcano in 1815 caused the global temperature to drop by 3 degrees, directly causing the year without summer, with snow in June and frost in August.

Therefore, some people speculate that the eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano will bring the earth back to the Ice Age. At that time, all living things will be threatened. Many vegetation will be frozen to death because they cannot adapt to the cold weather, and animals will also appear on a large scale. Death, the final fate of animals and plants will befall human beings.

The volcanic eruptions 1.3 million years ago and 640,000 years ago led to the emergence of two new craters in Yellowstone Park. In particular, experts also speculated that the eruption period of the Yellowstone volcano was 600,000 years ago, and 640,000 years have passed since the last eruption. In other words, the Yellowstone volcano may erupt at any time, and it will also have a devastating impact on China.

However, the Yellowstone Volcano is not so easy to trigger. According to the data, the distance between the "magma chamber" and the surface is nearly 10 kilometers. This distance is still relatively long. It may take hundreds of years, and the volcano is erupting. When there is an anomaly.

But the most worrying thing is that the eruption of the Tonga volcano will cause the earth to enter a year without summer? In the wandering earth, there is a sentence at the beginning: when a disaster strikes, no one cares at first, but when a city, a species, or a drought occurs, only then does someone realize the terrible disaster, wait until You only know the horror of this catastrophe when it is closely related to you.

Under normal circumstances, there are signs before a volcano erupts, such as smoke and slight tremors. Only a very small number of volcanoes erupt without warning. In addition to the movement of the earth's crust, large-scale migration of human beings takes refuge and famine. , water shortages, and even lead to the chain awakening and eruption of other volcanoes.

Especially in recent years, earthquakes in Yellowstone Park have become more and more frequent, so experts cannot estimate when the volcano will erupt, and this is a force of nature, which cannot be prevented by human beings through scientific means. However, compared to the Yellowstone Volcano, Mount Fuji is a bit younger. Although Mount Fuji will not pose as big a threat as the Yellowstone Volcano, it should not be underestimated.

Mt. Fuji has precursors of eruption

Mount Fuji is already showing signs of eruption. Although it is said that Mount Fuji has not erupted for 300 years, it has been very active in recent years, especially after the eruption of the Tonga volcano. The magma activity is very active, the volume is constantly expanding, and the heat and movement of Mount Fuji have also increased.

In particular, the land area of ​​Japan is not large. Once Mount Fuji erupts, Japan is likely to face a situation like Tonga. The communication of the entire country is interrupted, and it is impossible to get in touch with the outside world. It may even shake the foundation of the entire Japan. If it is in danger. One point, then the whole of Japan may disappear from history.

For this issue, you don't have to worry about it, because Tonga and Mount Fuji are both in the Pacific volcanic belt, but they have nothing to do with each other, and the distance between the two volcanoes is 10,000 kilometers. Tonga and Mount Fuji are not Do not belong to the same volcanic group, so the Tonga eruption will not affect Mount Fuji.

So, don't worry, according to the current situation, there is not much impact. Although the eruption of the Tonga volcano did not happen to everyone, the threat of the volcano was far greater than the earthquake. On August 24, 79 AD, Rome ushered in a devastating disaster, which directly caused a city to disappear completely. , the city is Pompeii .

At the time of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius , the resulting volcanic ash was as high as 5.6 meters, as well as some toxic gases and terrible fireworks, so that the residents of the city who had not had time to escape were buried forever underground until 1748. , This ancient city was only discovered by humans, and the traces left behind, as well as the tragic situation of being killed by the volcano, all tell the horror of the volcanic eruption. It is precisely because of the horror of volcanoes that some people say that volcanic rocks are the earth's warning to human beings, but in any case, everyone must live in peace with nature, and don't try to change nature. After all, no one knows the power of nature. how big.
