Small volcanic eruptions can also cause major disasters. Where are the 7 most dangerous places in the world?

Every year, natural disasters occur in many areas on the earth. Even if humans have been developing their own technological level, there is no way to predict natural disasters.

Although 2021 is not over yet, many natural disasters have already occurred, such as extreme high temperature weather in North America, extreme low temperature weather in South Africa, floods, etc., and even volcanic activity is higher than in previous years. frequently. Everyone is asking, what is happening to the earth? Mount Merapi in Indonesia suddenly erupted!

The Merapi volcano in Indonesia suddenly erupted. Although the eruption was small and caused no casualties, it still suffered some damage to property.

Media reports mentioned that the scale of this volcanic eruption was not very large, but the height of the volcanic ash column was very high, about one thousand meters. After the volcanic ash fell, it covered villages and towns within three kilometers.

This Mount Merapi is very active. There was a fatal eruption in 1930, resulting in the loss of more than 1,300 lives. Since November last year, the volcano has experienced multiple small-scale eruptions, and locals are worried that its eruption will suddenly become larger.

In July last year, the Yellowstone volcano in the United States experienced more than a thousand earthquake events. Because this volcano is a super volcano, many people have begun to worry that it will suddenly erupt on a large scale and even bring about a more terrifying natural disaster.

Like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions can also be classified into levels. So is the scale of the volcanic eruption so small that we don’t need to care? Small volcanic eruptions can also cause major disasters!

Researchers from the University of Cambridge in the UK have made some predictions about volcanic eruptions. They found that if a super volcano erupts, it will indeed have a great impact on the earth, but small-scale eruptions may also bring huge disasters to the earth and even seriously affect the human living environment.

Scientific researchers said that although the volcanic eruption is small in scale, it will also affect the normal operation of trade networks, international communications and transportation.

In addition, if these seven dangerous points on the earth are connected, it will cause a global catastrophe and make humans all over the world "mixed together." Where are the 7 dangerous spots on Earth?

1. Mediterranean Sea

If a volcano in the Mediterranean Sea erupts, the possibility of triggering a tsunami is very high. Once a tsunami strikes, the Suez Canal will be paralyzed, causing great losses to the human economy.

2. Northwest Europe

Once the Icelandic volcano erupts, a large number of routes will be affected, and the economic losses will be very large.

3. Indonesian Islands

The Indonesian Islands have the busiest routes in the world, and many trading ships will pass through this location and then go to other places. After the volcano erupts here, shipping will be paralyzed immediately, and the losses will be very large.

4. Northwest region of the United States

After a volcanic eruption here, volcanic ash and mudslides will paralyze the entire northwest. If the scale of the eruption reaches Level 6, the impact will be very large, and the U.S. economy will suffer great losses in the next five years.

5. Northern Taiwan, China

There are many electronic chip manufacturing plants in northern Taiwan. Once a volcanic eruption occurs here, there will be problems with the global supply of electronic chips, and the technology industry will In big trouble.

6. Luzon Strait

The Luzon Strait contains underwater cable equipment that must be used for human communications. If a volcano erupts here, global communications will be affected.

7. China-North Korea Border Area

After the volcanic eruption at the border, a large number of routes in eastern Asia will have problems, and crises will occur in many areas.

From this perspective, we living on earth will encounter danger at any time. In the face of natural disasters, no matter how advanced our technology is, there seems to be no way to stop them. In other words, the more advanced human technology is, the greater the impact will be when natural disasters strike.

Therefore, scientific researchers believe that even for small-scale disaster events, we need to pay attention to them in a timely manner, remain vigilant, and be fully prepared to respond.
