New Delhi: As the temperature of the earth is rising, the thick layers of glaciers and ice are melting. But it is not just increasing the water level of the sea. According to scientists, this is the beginning of a dangerous chain reaction that can shake the whole earth. recently
Revealed in an international research It has happened that the melting ice is making volcanoes more powerful and more explosives. Researcher Pablo Moreo-Aigar and his team of America’s University of Wisconsin-Madison have done this research in the Andes Mountains of Chile. After research on a volcano named Mochao-Chaoshko present here, scientists have warned that as soon as the ice layers are removed, the pressure on the magma chamber under the ground decreases. And these volcanoes start bursting more intensely.
What is the real root of danger?
The biggest concern due to the melting of glaciers so far was the rising water level of the sea, flood and bad weather balance. But this research has shown that when thick layers of ice cover a volcano, they control its pressure. As soon as it removes ice, the gases buried under the ground and magma start coming out without stopping and there are large explosions.
During research at Chile’s volcano, it was found that 26,000 to 18,000 years ago, when the entire earth was covered with snow sheet, the activity of these volcanoes was extremely low. But as snow melted, his explosive behavior increased after 13,000 years ago.
The biggest threat: volcano sleeping under Antarctica
If these volcanoes become active, then not only human life will be in danger, but they will also explode such a large explosion that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane will be left in the atmosphere, which will increase the temperature of the earth further rapidly.
Two -way threat: volcanic + climate change
Scientists say that this is a dangerous cycle. Global warming melts ice, causing volcanoes to burst, and their burst increases the heat in the atmosphere. This is a devastating loop that is not stopped yet, the situation can be out of control.
Research also found that when volcanoes are prevented from bursting for a long time (eg from a thick layer of ice), the magma under the ground gradually accumulates in the depths and its temperature and density increases. When it comes out, it is more explosive than normal.
Danger warning not just for one country
This research was previously considered limited to Iceland, but now it is clear that this danger is for the whole world. Such a situation can occur in America, New Zealand, Russia and even in the Himalayan region of India. Researchers also said that there has been very little research on mutual relations of climate change and volcanic activity and now it is ‘critically import’ that the world takes it seriously.
