Of course, Yellowstone’s supervolcano explosion will suffer in First of all, North America, which may just be erased from faces of the earth. However, according to scientists, the consequences of this eruptions can be much more serious, affecting the existence of of our planet as a whole.
For example, according to the most pessimistic scenario, the explosion Yellowstone will lead to a global reduction in food and, most importantly, drinking water on Earth, which may be enough for the current the number of earthlings from the force for 2-3 months. And then … the struggle for survival. Therefore, it is not a fact yet which is better: it is easy to die immediately from fire and ash, or then tormented for a long time – from hunger and thirst.
NASA has proposed its own solution to this global problem: cool super volcano with water. Today, more than 70 percent volcano heat fly off into the atmosphere, while energy Yellowstone can be fully used, constantly cooling it and thereby keeping the ratio of oxygen and methane at a level which will guarantee the impossibility of an explosion.
To do this, into the magma chamber, approximately to a depth of ten kilometers, NASA scientists say, you need to pump water. “Pleasure” is, of course, very expensive, at the most modest the initial investment will cost the United States almost four billion dollars, not to mention “contingencies.” However in further this project can pay off handsomely, because water, heated to 350 degrees Celsius, can be used in geothermal power station. So Yellowstone Volcano will, on the one hand, continue to “sleep”, and on the other – produce super-cheap electricity.
NASA proposal is currently under discussion by the government Of the United States, and scientists are already preparing detailed drawings, calculations and calculations.
