There are 1500 active volcanoes in the world. 10% of these volcanoes are in America. The destruction that would result if they explode is unpredictable, but can we fight them?
Would dropping a nuclear bomb on the volcano make it a complete hell, or can we solve the active volcano problem with the logic of nailing the nail? Will man-made destruction win, or will nature destroy? Let’s find out the answer together.
Volcanoes and nuclear bombs are so dangerous that in an explosion they can completely wipe out our entire habitat and us.
We understood the damage caused by the nuclear bomb with the disaster that took place in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In addition to the deaths of thousands of people, cities fell to the ground and became uninhabitable.
Forget the thought of throwing such a powerful force into an active volcano and destroying it, because the consequences could be worse than we can imagine.
First, let’s look at the scenario where we hit the bomb inside the volcano…
Probably even a nuclear bomb cannot compete with the power of that magma inside the volcano and melts instantly. In the scenario that we think does not melt, we need to send it to the very center of the magma in order to create a bomb effect.
Throwing a bomb into the volcano means pushing inward. So what does it mean to press inwards? Of course increase the power of the volcano! In such a case, more lava and ash will spread around, increasing the level of destruction. Also, this possibility is valid if we hit the explosion point precisely and use the right amount of explosives…
What if we can’t get the nuclear bomb to hit the eruption point of the volcano?
If we drop the bomb somewhere else, not right inside the volcano, we’ll see the same thing that happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bomb emits an incredible amount of radiation, destroying everything. So there are two options: either we die from lava or from nuclear explosion and radiation.
In short, volcanoes are no joke!
We do not have an opportunity to intervene in volcanoes with the technology we currently have. Only; minor earthquakes before the explosion, emitted gas, etc. We can evacuate that area by following the signs.
Just as we cannot prevent magma from accumulating under volcanoes, dropping a nuclear bomb or something else into the volcano is unfortunately not enough to stop them.
