Here is a paper I wrote from various sources outlining what I found and my beliefs...it covers everything previously posted but has some new stuff I found as well.....this will by my last post on the subject.
End of Days
We’ve all heard the theories of the end of days. Depending on what religion, your beliefs on how may vary, but it all ends the same way. What if I told you I knew exactly how this cataclysm would occur and where these original beliefs really came from? It isn’t a farce, but rather a scientific certainty. It is a fact, we’ve never seen a super volcano erupt. It is also a fact that we’ve never actually seen a mega tsunami. But, we’ve seen the results of both, many times over. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a noise? The answer to that, is the same as this. It all lies locked away in the secrets of super volcanoes, Toba, Yellowstone, mega-tsunami, and the island of La Palma.
A super volcano differs greatly from the standard volcano. The stereotypical volcano is a towering cone, but super volcanoes form in depressions in the ground called calderas. When a normal volcano erupts, lava gradually builds up in the mountain before releasing it. In super volcanoes when magma nears the surface it does not reach it, instead it begins to fill massive underground reservoirs. The magma melts the nearby rock to form more extremely thick magma. The magma is so viscous that volcanic gasses that normally trigger an eruption cannot pass, so a massive amount of pressure begins to build up. This continues for hundreds of thousands of years until an eruption occurs, which blasts away a huge amount of ground, forming a new caldera. They are the most destructive force on this planet. It is theorized that the lava would shoot straight to the stratosphere and harden before hitting the ground causing impact creators all over the world. Only a few super volcanoes exist in the world and erupt very seldom, but when they do, they do so with apocalyptic force, capable of obliterating continents.
Toba, Sumatra was the last Super Volcano to erupt. When it did so seventy five thousand years ago, the human population, which was around one hundred thousand or so worldwide, dropped to about two thousand worldwide. It had ten thousand times the explosive force of Mt. St. Helen and changed life on
Earth forever. Thousands of cubic kilometers of ash were thrown into the atmosphere. So much so, that it blocked out light from the sun all over the world. Twenty five hundred miles away, thirty five centimeters of ash coated the ground. Global temperatures plummeted by 21 degrees. The rain became highly acidic and killed three quarters of all organic life in the northern hemisphere. Man was pushed to the edge of extinction. This is the origin of the religious believes in the end of days.
Yellowstone National park is another. Scientist have discovered that the ground in Yellowstone is seventy-four centimeters (about 3 feet) higher than in was in nineteen twenty-three, indicating a massive swelling underneath the park. The reservoir is filling with magma at an alarming rate. The volcano erupts
with a near-clockwork cycle of every six hundred thousand years. The last eruption was more than six hundred forty thousand years ago; which means we’re passed due. Scientists searching for the caldera in the park could not see it because it was so massive. Only when thermal satellite images were taken did the
scale become apparent; the whole park, eighty-five kilometers by forty-five kilometers, is one massive reservoir of magma. When it erupts, magma would be flung fifty kilometers into the atmosphere. Everything within a thousand miles would be dead immediately. Volcanic ash would coat places as far away as Iowa and the Gulf of Mexico. One thousand cubic kilometers of lava would pour out of the volcano, enough to coat the whole of the USA with a layer five inches thick. The explosion would have a
force twenty-five hundred times that of Mt. St. Helen. It would be the loudest noise heard by man. Within minutes of the eruption tens of thousands would be dead. The long-term effects would be even more devastating. The thousands of cubic kilometers of ash that would shoot into the atmosphere could block out
light from the sun, making global temperatures plummet. This is called a volcanic winter, similar to a nuclear winter. As during the Toba eruption, a large percentage of the world's plant life would be killed by the ash and drop in temperature. Similar effects around the world would cause massive food shortages. If
the temperatures plummet by the 21 degrees as they did after the Toba eruption, the Yellowstone super volcano eruption would truly be an extinction level event.
Mega tsunamis, in comparison, aren’t as massive. But they do happen more frequently. True, we have yet to actually see one, but I believe its just around the corner. A mega-tsunami is simply a gigantic wave, one big enough to cross oceans and destroy cities. They can be thousands of feet high moving at incredible speeds. They can be caused by huge meteors crashing into the ocean, or by massive landslides. No boat or building hit by a mega tsunami could survive. The largest tsunami in recorded history was in Lituya Bay, Canada, nineteen fifty-eight. An earthquake measuring eight point three on the Richter scale
caused fourty million cubic meters of rock to fall into the sea. A wave more than half a kilometer high was created and surged through the bay devastating all in its path. This was not even a mega-tsunami. By these standards it was tiny, but it did show scientists what sort of wave a small landslide could cause. What
would be the affect of a big one? Scientists hunted that world for sites that could potentially cause a mega tsunami. They discovered that at least eleven mega tsunamis had happened in the last two hundred thousand years, caused by island collapses in the Hawaiian and Canary Islands. What they also discovered
is nothing short of shocking. We are be sitting on a time bomb, and sooner or later one will destroy New York, Boston and Miami, and that nothing could dream of stopping it.
The Island of La Palma is the most northwesterly island in the Canaries. It is indeed about to collapse. It is volcanic and during an eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano in nineteen forty-nine, part of the island slipped about 10 meters into the sea before stopping. Another eruption could cause the western flank of the island to collapse in the Atlantic Ocean. The volcano also erupts like clockwork every fifty to fifty-five years. When the island collapse occurs, it will send a wave of unparalleled force (six hundred trillion joules of kinetic energy) to the Americas, leveling the first 30 miles of the North American coast. It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when?
When this wave comes surging across the Atlantic, it is my belief, that is will induce the eruption of Yellowstone’s super volcano. Given Newton’s laws of motion, it’s unavoidable. The earth will become off balance, like a vibrating controller we use in our video games. The tectonic plates of earth will shift suddenly causing stress to rise, magma to flow upwards and the cataclysm will begin. This is how it will happen. It’s not a question of if, but when.
