Powinniśmy się bać, wybuch wulkanu na Islandii to dopiero początek
W serwisie Onet.pl dostępny jest artykuł opisujący skutki niedawnej erupcji wulkanu Eyjafjöll na Islandii:
Ziemia co jakiś czas przypomina nam, że tak naprawdę wcale nie kontrolujemy naszej planety. Seria erupcji wulkanicznych na Islandii, która zaczęła się w środę, to właśnie jedno z takich przypomnień. Obserwując jak chmura popiołu zasnuwa północną Europę, całkowicie paraliżując ruch powietrzny nad Skandynawią i Wielką Brytanią, zaczynamy uświadamiać sobie naszą ludzką bezbronność wobec sił natury.
Jak się okazuje, Ziemia pełna jest “superwulkanów”, które śpią ukryte aż do momentu uaktywnienia. Zagrożenie, jakie powoduje ich wybuch, jest niewyobrażalne:
W 2005 grupa robocza (powołana przez Londyńskie Towarzystwo Geologiczne), która badała poziom zagrożenia erupcją superwulkanu, doszła do wniosku, że takie zjawisko mogłoby “doprowadzić do zniszczenia obszaru wielkości Ameryki Północnej lub Europy, a w ciągu kilku lat wywołać całkowitą zmianę klimatu. Wybuch na taką skalę może zrujnować rolnictwo, pozbawić ludzkość dostępu do żywności i zagrozić naszej cywilizacji”.
Erupcje superwulkanów zwykle wiąże się z masowym wymieraniem gatunków, jak choćby z wymieraniem permskim około 250 mln lat temu – z powierzchni Ziemi zniknęło wtedy prawie 90 proc. gatunków organizmów morskich i doszło do powstania trapów syberyjskich.
Wyobraźmy sobie, co może nas czekać! W artykule znajduje się opis skutków erupcji islandzkiego wulkanu, która miała miejsce w XVIII wieku:
Ostatni potężny wybuch na Islandii miał miejsce w 1783. Laki, wulkan szczelinowy sąsiadujący z Grimsvötn, otworzył się i przez osiem miesięcy z ponad setki kraterów wydostawała się lawa i chmury pyłów. Trujący dwutlenek siarki zabił ponad połowę bydła na Islandii i wywołał klęskę głodu, która doprowadziła do śmierci około 10 tys. osób, czyli około jednej czwartej populacji.
Na tym nie koniec, bo toksyczny obłok pyłów wulkanicznych przeniósł się na południe, siejąc spustoszenie w Europie. – Pojawienie się ogromnych ilości dwutlenku węgla przy wyjątkowo niesprzyjających warunkach pogodowych, spowodowało gęstą mgłę, która na kilka miesięcy zasnuła całą zachodnią Europę. W rezultacie, od 1783 do zimy 1784 zmarły tysiące osób – przypomina Jerram. Mgła była tak gęsta, że statki zmuszone były stać bezczynnie w portach całej Europy.
Bolesne skutki erupcji Laki zaobserwowano też w bardziej odległych zakątkach świata. – Mamy dowody, że Laki przyczynił się do klęski nieurodzaju ryżu w Japonii w 1783 i osłabił cyrkulację afrykańskiego i indyjskiego monsunu – mówi Thordarson.

I have been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or blog posts on this sort of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this site. Reading this info So i?m happy to convey that I have a very good uncanny feeling I discovered just what I needed.

Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a very well written article. I?ll make sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I will definitely return.
Good post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Bless you!
I’ve learned a few important things via your post. I’d personally also like to say that there might be situation that you will apply for a loan and never need a cosigner such as a Federal government Student Support Loan. However, if you are getting that loan through a conventional loan company then you need to be able to have a co-signer ready to assist you to. The lenders will certainly base any decision over a few elements but the most important will be your credit history. There are some loan merchants that will also look at your job history and make up your mind based on this but in almost all cases it will depend on your report.

These days of austerity as well as relative anxiety about taking on debt, lots of people balk against the idea of utilizing a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise and also pay for a vacation, preferring, instead only to rely on this tried as well as trusted way of making payment – cash. However, if you have the cash there to make the purchase 100 , then, paradoxically, this is the best time to use the cards for several reasons.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
Thanks for your publication. I would also love to opinion that the very first thing you will need to conduct is to see if you really need credit score improvement. To do that you simply must get your hands on a duplicate of your credit profile. That should never be difficult, since government mandates that you are allowed to have one cost-free copy of your own credit report per year. You just have to ask the right persons. You can either find out from the website for the Federal Trade Commission or even contact one of the major credit agencies straight.

Thanks for your write-up. My spouse and i have always seen that the majority of people are eager to lose weight because they wish to look slim plus attractive. On the other hand, they do not continually realize that there are additional benefits for losing weight in addition. Doctors claim that obese people have problems with a variety of disorders that can be directly attributed to their excess weight. Thankfully that people who sadly are overweight along with suffering from different diseases are able to reduce the severity of their illnesses by means of losing weight. You’ll be able to see a continuous but marked improvement with health whenever even a bit of a amount of losing weight is obtained.

Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Bless you!
That is the right weblog for anyone who wants to seek out out about this topic. You understand so much its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I truly would want?HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
