kenel Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 MSNBC has an article on the catastrophic possibilities of a super-volcano eruption. A volcanic super-eruption could pose twice as much of a threat to civilization as a collision with an asteroid or comet. Every 100,000 years, a cosmic body with a diameter of more than 0.6 miles slams into Earth, but New York University’s Michael Rampino warned that a massive volcanic eruption capable of causing as much devastation occurs once every 50,000 years. Could we possibly be worrying too much about biological terrorism, nuclear terrorism, and the threat of astroids hitting our civilization, and not enough about nature's hot coca-cola?

kenel Posted July 22, 2002 Author Share Posted July 22, 2002 The eruption of one, could possibly create a chain reaction, and erupt all of those seen on the east coast. Boom goes Washington, Oregon, most of California, and New Mexico (eh, who needs it anyways?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenel Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 Venice Beach too, and yes...I meant the ALMOST the whole west coast of the United States. If you look at the map, there are certain states in which super-volcanos are not present. But in the event they started a chain reaction, the Lava could flow into the "safe" states.
