The ideal garbage dump for everyone
But have you ever had such an idea?
You can just throw all the trash into the volcano.
Certainly, magma inside the volcanoes, which has the strong image of melting anything at high temperatures, seems like an ideal garbage dump .
But there is a problem .
Problem 1: too expensive!
For example, in the United States alone, about 2 kg of garbage perperson is dumped in one day.
The annualized amount is 254 million tons .
In order to dispose of these trash, you must first find enough active volcanoes.
In addition, since very few people live near active volcanoes, transporting garbage requires a lot of time , money and fuel .
Problem 2:
Volcanoes are not as friendly as you think
Volcanoes are not as friendly as you think
Next, we must consider the nature of the volcano itself.
Imagine the act of throwing garbage at a volcano.
Certainly, such a volcano is ideal for dumping trash!
But reality is not so sweet .
In fact, most volcanoes erupt suddenly when volcanic gas and magma accumulate to the limit in the crater .
Problem 3:
Explosion of toxic gas and magma
Explosion of toxic gas and magma
Suppose you lived at the foot of a calm volcano.
But of course there are some dangers here, as well as the possibility of lava flowing and swallowing the house. There is a danger
of toxic gas and magma splashing near the crater .
Conclusion :
Above all, the problem is the explosion that occurs when a lot of magma is thrown at a lower temperature .
When a rock fell on a crater in Hawaii, 85 meters of magma spewed out into the air .
In addition, smoke generated when burning garbage is directly discharged into the air leading to air pollution.
What if we dump our trash into volcanoes
