Powerful word: Supervolcano forming near New Zealand will have the power to destroy world!
A “supervolcano” forming deep below the Earth’s crust north of New Zealand, will have the power to destroy the world, but scientists are urging people not to worry – it could be 100 million years away.
University of Utah seismologist Michael Thorne has been studying seismic waves beating through the Earth’s crust, and says the ingredients are there for a “cataclysmic” eruption.
The study has found that deep beneath the Pacific Ocean, near Samoa, two or more continent-sized piles of rock were colliding as they moved at the bottom of Earth’s thick mantle and atop the thicker core.
