We, humans, haven't really suffered from large-scale eruptions in the last hundreds of years, so we consider them more of a beautiful sight than something threatening.
But is this really true? Let's figure it out.
In the last decade, there has been an acceleration in the rise of magma from the depths of the earth's crust in many volcanic regions, such as Iceland, Italy, Kamchatka, La Palma Island (Canary Islands), Yellowstone, and others. This indicates an increase in volcanic activity on a global scale.
Volcanic activation indicates that a huge amount of energy has begun to accumulate in the bowels of the planet, which is trying to break out. The process of magma rise, which previously took hundreds and thousands of years, today occurs in just six months in some regions.
This is exactly what happened in the Brinsfield Strait in 2021, where the rise of magma from a depth of 10 km was accompanied by 85,000 earthquakes. The crust thickness in this area is 15 km, the localization of earthquakes showed that 10 km of the crust had already been burned through by active magma and 5 km remained before it broke through to the surface.
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of earthquakes in the area of volcanoes and supervolcanoes, which indicates their readiness for a potential eruption. Given the current magmatic activity of the Earth's interior, the explosion of one supervolcano will entail a chain reaction of volcanic explosions, which can lead to a planetary catastrophe.
And this is not fiction, not science fiction. Unfortunately, such situations have already happened more than once in the geological history of our planet.
Does humanity have a chance to survive the activation of supervolcanoes? What needs to be done for this?
