about the magma flow among other things,
ok, who all thinks the earth is a balloon and if it gets poked, bursts and zips around?
were you aware that there are people who believe that the earth is hollow? they even think beings live there, and that may be where atlantis is. i dont believe this, but there are some that do.
i, on the other hand, know that certain places are extremely pressurized, but there are alot of things folks arent taking into consideration. for instance, volcanoes usually spew so much ash because of the small diameter of the hole, and the extremem pressure. when/if yellowstone ever blows, the entire park will cave in, creating a massive hole. there will be no spewing and so forth. im sure there will be some ash, but nothing like what people are thinking, in my opinion. the diameter of the predicted hole, and the amount of pressure there tells me that its gonna be a dud, and it will have nowhere near enough psi to send ash high enough into the atmosphere. but alas, im no supervolcano expert, so feel free to make your own decision.
now, about the magma flow reversing: if the magma flow reverses, then thatd mean the magma would depressurize? or that the magma from the north would go to the south and vice versa? makes no sense to me, how would either make every voclano in the world "pop?" and if every volcano in the world popped at once, theres not enough pressure inside the earth to push em all. so it would be more like tons of volcanoes "oozing."
i'll give an example, imagine poking a knife into a tire. the tire makes a loud pop, and air rushes out of the small hole at great velocity for a minute or longer. much like a volcano. now, cut the tire all the way around the rim in one motion. you will hear a much smaller gurgle, and the tire will deflate in less than a second. its funny that the same theory that proved titor wrong to me also proved this wrong.
now, i have a question or two for everyone predicting an impending doom.
why are you so optimistic that these bad things will happen? do yall know that fear only reduces the quality of life, causes mental and health problems, and so on and so forth?
do yall realize that yall believe life as we know it will end in 5 years, yall believe this whole heartedly, and your wasting that last 5 years of good times here? cmon now...
i can understand peoples paranoia, but man... its not going to be that big of a deal. worry more about the solar maximum. that is something that is actually forecast to happen in 2012, and when it does, electronics as we know it, will be toast. a super volcano aint so bad if you have purified water, electricity, and an ac/heater with filtration. sure you use tons of filters, but your airs clean.
yes the solar maximum will cause chaos. but life will be back to normal 5 years after that. its a guarantee.
and i would bet good money that we do not see a supervolcano in our lifetime. after all, yellowstone hasnt blown yet. unless you count those itsy vents
any takers?
if you still worry about a supervolcano after this post, then i beg of you one thing to ponder on. how many years has it been since the last supervolcano?
either way, i lose more sleep over theives, gangs, low life mofos, and occasionally the government
im tired, i think way too much...
