The report of Cambridge University describes in detail the "doomsday scenario" that may occur when Mount Malapi erupts.
According to reports, the report released by the Center for Existential Risk Research of Cambridge University describes in detail the "doomsday scenario" that may occur when Mount Montmalapi erupts.
Malapi volcano is located on the coast of Indonesia, just a few miles from the Malacca Strait, which is called the "throat of the world".
Every year, 90,000 ships pass through the narrow Straits of Malacca, satisfying 40% of global trade.
The waterway has 90,000 ships passing through the narrow strait every year to transport grain, crude oil and various commodities on the market. This route meets 40% of global trade.
Mount Malapi is over 9,000 feet (2,743.2 meters) high. If it erupts, the volcanic ash cloud will rise to 30,000 meters, covering the "volcanic winter" of the earth for three years.
According to the serious warning issued by the Cambridge University report, the sharp drop in temperature will lead to global food shortage, inflation and climate anomalies, and these disasters will cost the world about 2.5 1 trillion dollars.
An area that may be directly affected by volcanic ash clouds after the eruption of Mount Malapi.
According to the report, the volcanic ash cloud will be taken to airports in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, which are a few miles away from the volcano, and all aviation activities will be stopped.
According to a study published in Nature on 20021,this area is one of the busiest airspace in the world, and the air route between two cities alone has more than 5.5 million seats every year.
This will suspend tourism in all countries, and these countries will lose billions of dollars. As far as Indonesia is concerned, this is a $3.35 billion industry.
According to the report, other parts of the world will also be affected by the eruption of Mount Malapi. The global average temperature dropped by 1, which lasted for three years, resulting in an extremely serious climate and a global food shortage.
Unpredictable rainfall patterns and unusually low summer temperatures led to large-scale crop failures around the world, which led to soaring food prices and high global inflation in the following summer.
It was not until the beginning of the third year after the volcanic eruption that technological progress caught up with the crisis and helped to rebalance the global food supply and demand.
The eruption of Malapi volcano may lead to a decrease in the global average temperature 1, lasting for up to 3 years.
Lala Mani, a volcanologist at the Center for Existential Risk Research at Cambridge University, said that the volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 4 to 6 is enough to disrupt the trading channel, and the highest index can reach 8.
It is reported that there are many volcanic centers along the Indonesian archipelago, such as VEI4 volcano and Doba volcano in Sumatra, and VEI4 volcano in Central Java.
Mount Semeru, also known as Mount Mahanlu, has erupted many times in the past few centuries.
However, its latest eruption occurred in February, 65438+2022, which caused smoke to fly, exceeding 1 mile high.
Mount Semeru is the highest mountain in Indonesia, and its eruption has aroused the authorities' vigilance against neighboring communities.
The largest eruption occurred on Mount Tambora in 18 15, which led to the death of crops in Europe and the world food shortage.
The British National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service said on its website that the death toll of the 18 15 incident was 1 1000 people, who died in a fire and mudslide. In the next decade, more than 100000 people died from the resulting food shortage.
It is reported that the eruption scale of Tambora volcano is VEI7, but such a strong volcanic eruption only happens once every few hundred years.
According to the report, although there is no way to prevent natural disasters from reaching the Straits of Malacca, early warning systems and signs can be sent to warn people of the upcoming disaster.
