Will Tonga volcanic ash float to China?

The eruption of Tonga volcano has brought a series of disasters. At present, the whole world is paying attention to the follow-up situation of Tonga volcano eruption, especially volcanic ash, which can float for thousands of kilometers under certain conditions, and the possible impact is too great.

The impact of volcanic ash is so great that everyone is beginning to worry about whether it will float to China and affect the living conditions of people in China. At present, relevant departments and experts in China are also paying close attention to the volcanic ash movement of Tonga volcano eruption. According to experts, this possibility is very small at present.

Although volcanic ash may float thousands of kilometers away, it requires specific conditions. Not all volcanic ash will float that far. Most of the volcanic ash will slowly disperse after dozens to hundreds of kilometers, and the remaining activity will also decrease. Too little volcanic ash can float thousands of kilometers away.

According to the detection results of Fengyun satellite in China, the volcanic ash of Tonga volcano is still in the southern hemisphere and has no tendency to drift to the northern hemisphere.

You know, Tonga's geographical position is still far from China. Tonga is a country in the South Pacific, and its nearest neighbor should be Fiji, followed by New Zealand. At present, the volcanic ash cloud is very thin and floats as far as the east coast of Australia. In a short time, if there are no other factors, the possibility of floating to China is too small.

At present, the eruption of Tonga volcano is most influenced by Tonga itself. The whole country is shrouded in volcanic ash clouds, and visibility is extremely low. You need to wear a medical mask when going out. However, none of its neighbors, New Zealand, has been greatly affected. In order to prevent Tonga volcano from affecting our country, New Zealand has been actively helping Tonga to carry out post-disaster relief work.

Although volcanic ash clouds have drifted to countries outside Tonga, these countries have not been greatly affected. The distance between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere is still relatively far, and the distance between China and Tonga is even farther. If volcanic ash clouds want to drift into China, there must be special coincidence weather conditions, otherwise the possibility is basically zero. Such a long distance is getting thinner and thinner before it floats, and the particles of volcanic ash itself are relatively large, so there is a great possibility of slowly sinking and attaching to other objects on the way, and there is not much left in the end.

Many people on the Internet are worried that volcanic ash from Tonga will float to China and affect our climate conditions in 2022. In fact, this possibility is really small, and the distance between the northern and southern hemispheres is relatively far. If there are no particularly coincidental climatic conditions, this is basically impossible, and everyone can rest assured.
