What will happen if all the volcanoes in the world erupted together. Will the earth be destroyed?
We are all familiar with the word volcano. Even then, not without sharing some information. About 80 volcanoes erupt each year. There are currently about half a thousand active or living volcanoes on Earth. Volcanoes that have no chance of erupting are called dead or extinguished volcanoes. Also dormant volcanoes are volcanoes that are not currently active, but may erupt in the future.
Volcanic eruptions can occur if cracks appear in the crust, if there are any weak pores in the crust, or if the underground liquid rock and pressure increase. Volcanic eruptions can cause clouds of ash and gaseous matter to form in the sky. Volcanoes can also form in the middle of the ocean.
Bromo volcano in Indonesia. The country has more than 130 active volcanoes, one of which is the Super Volcano, which makes Indonesia one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Now let's come to the main discussion! What if all the world's volcanoes erupted at once?
If that happens, it will be difficult for you to find a safe place to shelter, as there is at least one super volcanic habitat on almost every continent. For example, the United States has Yellowstone, Tanzania's Nogorongoro, and Indonesia's Toba. Basically, no matter where you are, it will attack you. But at least you have a precaution, because a few weeks or months ago, an earthquake would shake the ground.
When Krakatoa erupted in 183, which was not even close to the size of a super volcano, it sounded so loud that it traveled about 4,800 kilometers across the Indian Ocean, shattering windows and deafening people on its way. If a small volcanic eruption has such an impact, it is hard to say how much damage it would cause if all the volcanoes erupted together.
Now suppose you are lucky to have survived the first stage of the volcano. After that, your hardest task will be to find a shelter. Because this huge explosion will create billions of tons of ash, scattering volcanic glass and rocks in the air for thousands of meters. It will demolish buildings, contaminate the water supply and bring down any power grid. And if there is any city near the super volcano, it will make toast immediately. Understand how difficult it will be to take your breath!
When the Toba erupted 64,000 years ago, the ashes flew into the Indian air. So if all the super volcanoes erupted at once, the debris of the volcano would spread all over the world. When the eruption is over, the catastrophe will just begin. Because for the next six months, most of that supervolcanic ash will remain in the stratosphere and block out sunlight, causing global temperatures to drop to 15 degrees Fahrenheit [15 C]. Tropical forests, which cannot handle cold weather, will dry up and destroy millions of species of animals that live there.
When the Lucky volcano erupted in Iceland in 183, it rained so much sulfuric acid that it destroyed all farmland and wiped out half of all cattle. The following year, famine killed a quarter of Iceland's population. Where Lucky, Krakatoa had no super volcanoes, this is the situation. Now I can't even imagine what would happen if all the volcanoes erupted together. I don't know exactly whether it is possible to explode all at once, but I want nothing to happen !!
