Even though we have heard the name, many of us do not know about the horrors of all such volcanoes in the world
When you hear the name of the volcano, a terrible form of fire and lava floats in front of your eyes. However, many of us do not know about all such volcanoes in the world and its horrors. Let's find out today about some of these terrible volcanoes.
Tamu Massif
Tamu Massif is the largest volcano in the world. The Tamu Massif volcano, located under the sea near the coast of Japan, was discovered two decades ago. This is the biggest volcano in the world that no one understood then. However, after years of patiently collecting data, scientists have come to the conclusion that this is the largest volcano in the world. It is larger in size than the whole of the British Isles or New Mexico. Tamu Massif is 400 miles long and 2.5 miles high. The top of this volcano is 6,500 feet below sea level. Can anyone guess what could happen if this volcano ever erupted?
Banua Uhu is another terrifying volcano. Banua Uhu is an underwater volcano that rises more than 400 meters above sea level on the island of Shangi in Indonesia. If you ever want to visit this island, you will definitely need a guide. This volcano is completely under the sea, for which you can never see anything standing outside or on the shore. According to the record of history, the Banua Uhu volcano created a few smaller ephemeral islands and once disappeared. An island 90 meters high was created in 1835, but in 1848 it turned into only a few rocks. According to legend, another new island was formed in 189 and reached a height of 50 meters in 1894. Another island was discovered in 1919, but it disappeared again in 1935. Nowhere else in the world can you see such a deadly volcano as Banua Uhur.
Anak krakatoa
On August 163, a volcano erupted on the Indonesian island. Anak Krakatoa is one of the most terrifying volcanoes. It is the deadliest volcano ever to erupt on Earth. At the time of the eruption, its loud sound was so loud that people all over the world could hear it. Scientists estimate that the eruption was equivalent to the explosion of 200 megatons of gunpowder - 13,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. The year after the eruption, global temperatures dropped by about 1.2 degrees Celsius.
91 more volcanoes in Antarctica
In August 2016, scientists found a total of 91 volcanoes in West Antarctica. But the scientists were a little scared. If these volcanoes ever start erupting then where is our protection? One by one the avalanches will continue to descend. As a result, a large part of the earth could be submerged in water. But the hope is that they are under about four kilometers of thick ice. The natural balance of the volcanoes is maintained as they are covered with a thick sheet of ice. As a result, the risk of eruption is very low. The volcanoes are currently dormant. The largest of the volcanoes is about 4,000 meters high, equivalent to the Igar volcano in Switzerland. Volcanoes are 100-400 meters above sea level.
