This is a question that I’ve been asking myself, but would a Yellowstone Supervolcano Eruption of the highest magnitude lead to the Amazon burning down? Considering that a lot of ash and smoke would be released, if enough of that ash got down into South America and into the Amazon, could it burn it down?
I tried researching this online but all I could find was the fact that researchers knew the volcano COULD erupt because of earthquakes and stuff not that they knew when or with what magnitude. was it like, they knew it was going to erupt in the next few years before it did? or was it kind of like yellowstone where we know it probably will erupt one day we just don’t know when. also, did people know how violently the volcano would explode or even if it would explode at all? I just finished an earth science course in college (my major has nothing to do with earth science I just took it to get credit hours so I will probably not be taking many more geology courses to find answers to these questions) and the course left me with some curiosities regarding what I learned. i’m just hoping someone out there on the great reddit dot com could quench my thirst for volcano knowledge
Is there a good reliable website that has data for volcanoes like how the nws has all information on weather. I would like to look at numbers and graphs.
This is a volcanic plug and not a cinder cone
The Memphis Fire Department has received a dispatch call for a "lava fire". Lava, as in volcano lava. What the !?!?!
The Volcán de Fuego is a volcano measuring nearly 4 000 meters of altitude and is regularly erupting since hundreds of years.
I’m just, in awe at the innovation that started when these eruptions started happening, the planning, the building and just the design of these walls is something to be appreciated I believe
Taken tonite!
I’ve got a volcano project I’ve got to do but I chose Mount hood and I’m struggling to find a lot of info on Mount hood so given that fact that this is the volcano subreddit I wanted your help. I’ve got to know which eruption was the worst and how many people died stuff like that thanks in advance for any answers/info
2 years ago I hiked Volcan Fuego and stayed overnight, it was the best experience of my life. The raw nautral beauty, culture and adventure that guatemala had to offer was amazing and i'm trying to find another adventure like Fuego and Guatemala. Since then I have visited Peru and next year (March 25') I am planing on visiting Chile/ Boliva (Atacama Destert, Salar De Ununyi, Patagonia).
What other thrilling adventures that have or dont have active volcanos like Guatemala with 10 day time frame does everyone recommend?
