Potential Disasters in 2012
source: by David Johnson BBC News, Infoplease.com

Potential Natural Disasters
"My life has been full of terrible misfortunes that never took place," French writer Michel Montaigne once said.

Many people waste time and energy worrying about things that haven't happened—and probably won't. But when scientists say that seemingly
unbelievable disasters have a good chance of occurring, government safety officials sit up and take notice.
What is 2012?  In short, 2012 is a quickly approaching
year that has been associated with many theories, scientific
facts and prophecies of a coming global change.
What will happen in 2012? Explore what many believe:
Yellowstone Explosion Could Freeze Earth

A supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National
Park could be overdue for an eruption, according
to scientists. The explosion would send ash,
dust, and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere,
reflecting the sun's rays and creating a cold wave
lasting several years. Crops in many areas
would fail and many species of animals and
plants would face extinction.

The Yellowstone volcano has erupted once every
600,000 years, and is now 40,000 years
overdue, making some volcano watchers
nervous. Satellite pictures show movement in
the chamber of molten rock several miles
beneath the earth's surface.

A supervolcano is usually formed when the
mountain around the crater collapses during an
eruption, leaving a large crater, or caldera.
Will Wall of Water Wash East Coast?

Volcano experts say that if a volcano in the
Canary Islands were to fall into the Atlantic
Ocean, it would send a wall of water, a
tsunami, to engulf much of the East Coast of
the United States. The Cumbre Vieja volcano
on the island of La Palma is unstable and
could collapse if it erupted. The 500 billion
tons of rock plunging to sea would create a
splash more than 2,100 feet high and 25 feet
across that would surge across the ocean
toward America at 450 mph.


By the time it reached the U.S., the killer wave
would be only about 160 feet tall. Even so, it
could sweep inland for 12 miles.

In 1998 an underwater earthquake created a
tidal wave that killed 2,000 people when it
smashed into Papua New Guinea. In 1958, a
cliff fell into the ocean at Letuya Bay. The
resulting water wall was so strong it removed
trees and soil 1,640 feet above sea level.

Again, scientists say it could be decades
before Cumbe Veija erupts again and that
event may not be catastrophic.
Threat from Outer Space

It may sound like a science fiction movie, but
in January 2000, the British government
appointed a commission to assess the
chances that an asteroid could destroy or
damage the Earth. The Near Earth Objects
Task Force will monitor objects whizzing
through space, according to the BBC. Some
British experts claim the chances of being
killed by an asteroid are 750 times greater
than winning the British lottery.

The British government appointed a
commission to assess the chances that an
asteroid could destroy or damage the Earth.
The Near Earth Objects Task Force will
monitor objects whizzing through space.

Last year, an object passed between the
Earth and the Moon, which would have likely
caused enormous damage if it had hit Earth.


Asteroids can be devastating. It is believe
that an immense meteorite crashed to Earth
65 million years ago, wiping out the
dinosaurs. National Geographic magazine
reported that in 1992, a piece of rock the size
of a football tumbled from the sky to crush a
car in New York City. In 1908, nearly 800
miles of Siberian forest burst into flame
when a meteor landed in the area.

On average, a large object hits every 10,000
years, while something with the force of 10
atom bombs crashes every 100,000 years.
However, you do not need to put on your
crash helmet just yet. There are no known
objects close enough to Earth to cause
damage for some time.

Othe natural doomsday events may include:

  • A global pandemic. A pandemic (from Greek παν pan all + δήμος demos people) is an epidemic of infectious disease that spreads
    through human populations across a large region; for instance a continent, or even worldwide.

  • A gamma ray burst or other devastating blast of cosmic radiation. One especially deadly hypothesized source is a hypernova, produced
    when a hypergiant star explodes and then collapses, sending vast amounts of radiation sweeping across hundreds or even thousands
    of lightyears of space. Hypernovas have never been observed; however, a hypernova may have been the cause of the Ordovician-
    Silurian extinction events. The nearest hypergiant is thought to be Eta Carinae, approximately 8,000 light-years distant.

  • An abrupt reorientation of Earth's axis of rotation.

  • A drastic increase or decrease in the Sun's energy output.

  • A sudden change in the physical constants governing the universe, such as that created by a Vacuum metastability event. The
    possibility that we are living in a false vacuum has been considered. If a bubble of lower energy vacuum were nucleated, it would
    approach at nearly the speed of light and destroy the Earth instantaneously, without any forewarning.

  • A close approach of a black hole to the solar system.

  • An exceptionally devastating hypercane. A hypercane is a hypothetical class of extreme tropical cyclone that could form if ocean
    temperatures reached around 50 °C (122 °F), 15 °C higher than the warmest ocean temperature ever recorded— which could in turn be
    caused by a large asteroid or comet impact, a large volcanic or supervolcanic eruption, or very extensive global warming. There is some
    speculation that some dinosaurs might have been killed off by a series of hypercanes, resulting from an asteroid or comet crashing
    into Earth.

  • A universal Big Rip or Big Crunch. The Big Rip is a cosmological hypothesis first published in 2003, about the ultimate fate of the
    universe, in which the matter of the universe, from stars and galaxies to atoms and subatomic particles, are progressively torn apart by
    the expansion of the universe at a certain time in the future. Theoretically, the scale factor of the universe becomes infinite at a finite time
    in the future.

  • In physical cosmology, the Big Crunch is when the metric expansion of space eventually reverses and the universe recollapses,
    ultimately ending as a black hole singularity.

  • Severe climate change, caused by natural earth/sun cycles.
