Scientists said that there is a 1 in 6 chance of this catastrophe occurring during the remaining 78 years of this century, according to the newspaper. "Daily Mail" British.
When a volcano erupts Honga Tonga Honga Ha Ebay Last January in Tonga Pacific OceanIt was so powerful that it caused a tsunami "tsunami" Arrived to Japan AndNorth America AndSouth America.
but country Tonga It was the most affected by these waves, as they caused huge material losses estimated at about one-fifth of the gross domestic product.
And what is more dangerous has not yet happened.
An analysis by scientists of the Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark showed a layer of ice core on an island Greenland AndAntarctica He concluded that an eruption of a magnitude 7 volcano could be 10-100 times more powerful than the one recorded last January.
The possibility of an eruption of this volcano this century is expected.
In ancient times, previous volcanic eruptions caused sudden changes in climate and the collapse of civilizations.
It’s sad
In our time, there is a sad thing, according to the most prominent volcanologists in the world BritainThe world is not ready for something like this to happen.
Professor says volcanoes At the University of Birmingham, Michael Cassidy, for "Nature" Scientific: "There is no coordinated action, nor massive investment, to mitigate the global effects of massive volcanic eruptions".
He adds: "This matter needs to be changed".
Cassidy makes a comparison, saying that the agency "NASA" Other space agencies receive hundreds of billions of dollars in funding for programs "planetary defense"to face the possibility of collision of celestial bodies such as asteroids to the ground.
In contrast, there is no global program to protect the Earth in the event of a supervolcano eruption, which is hundreds of times more likely than the possibility of asteroids and comets colliding with Earth together.
The last huge eruption
It is noteworthy that the last massive volcanic eruption with a magnitude of 7 degrees in the world occurred in 1815 in Tambora, Indonesia, which killed more than 100,000 people and felt its impact on millions around the world, as it caused a decrease in the Earth’s temperature at the time, as well as famines Andepidemics Like the cholera outbreak in India.
At that time, the volcano destroyed agricultural crops China Europe and North America.
But the occurrence of such a volcano in our time may lead to more severe human and material losses, given the global overcrowding and interconnection between parts of the earth, according to Cassidy.
