Default Super Volcano. - 04-11-2005, 04:29 PM

Anybody else watch the show about this on the Discovery Channel? Pretty interesting in my opinion. Would be crazy if something like this would ever happen again, pretty much destory much of America. I am not all that worried about it, but it is interesting to study. If this did happen, who would let me come live with them in a different country?

From what it said, and it went to the extreme, it would change the climate around the world due to alot of the ash it shot up. Like places temp. droped to an average of 20 degrees. Like if it was 40 it would be 20.

Temperatures would drop by a lot from the ash. Practically all living organisms would die off. Even with just a degree change of about 2-4, millions of species would become extinct. I am unsure about this, but this one super volcano could possibly cause a lot more volcanos in the area (continent?). We don't have to worry too much about it though rolleyes: . It will most likely erupt in 100 - 10,000 years. Anyway, ...mass extinctions.

Another thing about mass extinctions: In late December, there was a scare about an asteroid (1K Miles in size) colliding into the earth on Friday the 13th, 2029. There was a 1 in 38 chance of it hitting. However, it has been ruled out that it will not hit the Earth. Nobody heard about this because everyone was worried about what was happening in Asia, with the Tsunami and all.

Changes by a lot.
