I watched a TV program last night about this super volcano. It's supposed to wipe out most of America and many more places. The volcano is situated in Yellow Stone park. Scienctists are saying it could happen today tomorow or in the next 100,000 years. If it did it would plunge the world into darkness for 4 years starting a volcanic winter.


I was just woundering if anyone else knew about this thing.

And should we be worried?? <_<

yea i heard about that its supposed to make a massive caldera.

I will hold my breath! :blink:

yea and theres also the chance of a huge asteroid that our scientists dont pick up until the last minute that will wipe out the planet tommorow or in a million years....i dont really worry about it lol

;) I should not worry about it. You can't go through life wondering what is around the next corner..We live near to a huge chemical complex which if it gets blown up will decimate the population for miles around but i don't worry because what is the point.que sera sera..whatever will be will be.. :D :D :D

Also the entire East Coast will be wiped out by a mega tsunami that definetly WILL happen sometime....could be tommorrow, could be in 50 years.

Apparently there's a large island around the mediteranian area with a dormant volcanoe. The way this island's geology is, there are verticel columns of hard rock and vertical columns of porous rock. In between all these is water. NOW, the volcanoe apparently heats this water and causes the island to crack down the center. It's happening everyday, and at some point it will crack to far and half of this island will plummet into the Atlantic. Unlike a regular earthquake caused Tsunami like the one a few weeks ago in the Indoa area, the force from this island hitting the water will create a Tsunami that will be some ridiculous number (300 feet sounds familiar) which will wipe out the East Coast USA including New York, Miami, Boston.... Really sux, I live on Long Island so I'm screwed :lol:

Saw it on the Discovery Channel :lol:

:lol: Yeah tis one of the Canary Islands. Im staying right next to that Island soon. Great haha.!!

I am afraid about pollution and the consequence about it .

Maybe it's to late ?

I hope it's not .

;) Just as long as it is not in November and not Gran Canaria... B) :D

Yea were screwed either way. If you think about it, the human population is a parasite. We're stripping our planet of it's natural resources, and looking for somewhere else to go once we've finished that task. We're no better than tape worms when you think about it.... :unsure:

The human population reminds me of viruses... we spread and multiply
Thats also a great quote from The Matrix! B)

you didnt pay attention to the program to well. "wipe out most of America" as you put it refers to the afteraffects of the volcano and thats assuming we all sit here like idiots waiting for the ash to choke us to death. That asside the actuall explosion may only annihilate everything within 150 miles of the caldera(which it currently is a caldera is a crater left over from a volcanic collapse). Also like someone else mentioned there are asteroids out there that would make that caldera explosion seem like a firecracker if they hit, i mean literally splitting the earth in 2 with the force of a hydrogen bomb using all the water on earth(hydrogen bombs use heavy water atoms for fusion). so imagine all the water on earth exploding with the power of a nuclear weapon. THAT would be a big problem. But if your worried about yellowstone dont hold your breath, it will give major signs before going(like rising 50 feet a week)

All that stuff is pretty scary but right now my biggest concern is pollution and global warming. also are gonna go someday if we don't slow down. like i mean i heard that something like 80% of the worlds resources are used by like 12% of us.

You can't worry though u just gotta live ur life to the fullest

How do we know that this hole in the Ozone wasn't there before us. Yes maybe it is getting bigger but that might be a natural cycle of the earth.


After all how did the ice age melt all those years ago? <_<

;) My dad always used to say if you interfere with mother nature she will get her revenge on you..there is far too much interference with the natural progression of things.Pollution is the major factor in the destruction of the ozone layer but everyone seems to be complacent about it because by their way of thinking it won't effect them..I try to recycle as much as i can with glass, plastic etc...but i do not think it is enough to prevent natural disasters. We had terrible flooding at the beginning of the year..i have never witnessed it being so bad..one of the consequences of global warming i fear...

EXACTLY

i agree with the parasite thing, but i love the hybrid car guys....just because theyre sellin hybrids doesnt make the air any cleaner, they say people who buy em are helping clean the earth and preserving oil....my truck guzzles twice as much gas of those hybrids so obviously a few thousand hybrids VS lots and lots of trucks doesnt do jack squat....

How about the whole Neutron star threat. A neutron star could already have exploded a million years ago and gamma radiation powerful enough to set the planet on fire could be headed our way as I type this ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggg I can feel the heat... oops sorry, I spilt some coffee false alarm..... :lol:

hey,

oh yeah, i'm really worried, oh no, wut are we going to do? ...remember the huge earthquake that scientists say was supposed to happen in California? I'm still waiting for it

I worry about being on an aircraft getting ready to take off and the captian says we just had a warning light pop up on our #1 engine. I am sure it is nothing but we will Taxi back to the gate. Then sitting there watching from the window at some fella with a screw driver and a flash light and a manual standing looking at the engine scratching his head like he can't believe what he is reading.

When Could the Next Large Earthquake Occur Along the San Andreas Fault?
Along the Earth's plate boundaries, such as the San Andreas fault, segments exist where no large earthquakes have occurred for long intervals of time. Scientists term these segments "seismic gaps" and, in general, have been successful in forecasting the time when some of the seismic gaps will produce large earthquakes. Geologic studies show that over the past 1,400 to 1,500 years large earthquakes have occurred at about 150-year intervals on the southern San Andreas fault. As the last large earthquake on the southern San Andreas occurred in 1857, that section of the fault is considered a likely location for an earthquake within the next few decades. The San Francisco Bay area has a slightly lower potential for a great earthquake, as less than 100 years have passed since the great 1906 earthquake; however, moderate-sized, potentially damaging earthquakes could occur in this area at any time.
A great earthquake very possibly will not occur unannounced. Such an earthquake may be preceded by an increase in seismicity for several years, possibly including several foreshocks of about magnitude 5 along the fault. Before the next large earthquake, seismologists also expect to record changes in the Earth's surface, such as a shortening of survey lines across the fault, changes in elevation, and effects on strainmeters in wells. A key area for research on methods of earthquake prediction is the section of the San Andreas fault near Parkfield in central California, where a moderate-size earthquake has occurred on the average of every 20-22 years for about the last 100 years. Since the last sizeable earthquake occurred in 1966, Parkfield has a high probability for a magnitude 5-6 earthquake before the end of this century and possibly one may occur within a few years of 1988. The U.S. Geological Survey has placed an array of instruments in the Parkfield area and is carefully studying the data being collected, attempting to learn what changes might precede an earthquake of about that size.

HAHAHA!!!! Similar thing happened to my friend. They were at Atlanta I think, and getting ready to get on the plane. So he's standing there watching them (he's a plane buff too) and they come over the PA and announce the flight will be delayed for maintenance issues. So he's watching them work on the starboard engine of the 767, and he sees the guy take off a panel and start fuddling. Then the guy all of a sudden stops, takes two steps back, and calls over 3 other guys and the four of them proceed to get on their hands and knees and start crawling across the ramp. Then one of them stopped and stoop up with something in his hand, and then the original guy took it and everyone went back to doing what they were doing. I laughed so hard when he told me this :lol:
