10 Volcanoes That Could Destroy The World
These are the 10 top most powerful super volcanoes in the world they might be that things that destroy our planet & end everything! Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv 5. Mount Kilauea This volcano in Hawaii is the world’s most active volcano and has been steadily been erupting since 1983. The summit has rose to its highest peak in the past 42 years. Here in this photo you see a pool of lava that almost appears to be the pits of hell. This pool has also risen to its highest level and is an estimated 16 feet deep. The lava flow seems to creep up on unsuspecting locals on Hawaii’s Big Island and in the 1990’s it destroyed over 200 homes. Officials say that there is nothing to worry about and this volcano doesn’t have the potential to affect people’s plans surfing or hanging out on the beach. But considering how active this volcano is, if there’s enough pressure underground, this thing could cause some serious damage. 4. Cumbre Vieja While people are soaking up the sun in the Canary Islands, they might not always realize there’s a volcano here that could cause the end of the world. Scientists theorized in 2001 that the entire western half of the volcano could potentially fall off into the ocean and create a megatsunami. The Cumbre Vieja collapse would create an extraordinary wave like we’ve never experienced before and spread like we see in this photo. The initial wave would be 2,100 feet in the air and a wavelength of 15 miles. It would travel across the atlantic ocean of speeds approximately 450 miles an hour, destroying anything in its path. It would potentially wipe out all of Florida, the Caribbean, the eastern coast of Brazil and Western Europe. By the time it reaches the coast, the waves would be at least 160 feet tall. People might only have about 7 and a half hours to respond to this mega tsunami, causing mass panic. Massive flooding would take place in major cities like New York, Sao Paulo and Miami. The globe would certainly need to be redesigned if this ever took place. Scientists say there’s a possibility each year that this could happen. 3. Mt. Vesuvius We’re all familiar with mount vesuvius as being the volcano that destroyed the city of Pompeii in 79 AD but in modern times, the volcano is certainly capable of causing more destruction. With about 3 million people in italy living near the volcano, and 300,000 of them living in the red zone, it’s certainly the most dangerous volcano in all of Europe. It’s only 7.5 miles away from the city of downtown Naples. Take a look at it on google maps and you’ll notices it’s basically surrounded by people and houses. Scientists also claim that this active volcano is much overdue for an explosion. About two millennia ago we saw it plastered people into human statues. Who’s to say this won’t happen again and what kind of devastation would that eruption had caused if it were to happen now. 2. Popocatepetl This massive volcano is the third tallest active volcano in the world and it’s only 40 miles for the capital of Mexico with nearly 18 million inhabitants. It just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. After 80 years of being dormant, it’s last large explosion was in year 2000, causing tens of thousands of people to relocate. This is also capable of melting large amounts of snow and creating enormous mudslides into the cities below. With the peak reaching 17,802 feet, it certainly has a lot of ice it could melt. Recently in March 2016 an ash column reached over 6,000 feet and then it spewed lava a month later. With a larger explosion it could certainly cause a catastrophic loss of life, if not an apocalypse. 1.Yellowstone Supervolcano On our own American soil, lies a supervolcano, capable of bringing on the apocalypse with ease.Yellowstone was America’s first national park but a ticking time bomb lies beneath the soil that could go off any moment. This supervolcano, typically goes off every 600,000 years; it’s been 640,000 years since its last eruption. A giant lake of lava the size of mount everest, sits under Wyoming, Montana and Idaho just waiting to see the light of day. The caldera of this volcano is about the size of Los Angeles. This would potentially wipe out the entire Western United States, leaving us with about 30 states instead of 50. Imagine the Mount St. Helen’s explosion but only 10 times larger. This would then trigger other seismic events, causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the world. The entire earth would be consumed with toxic ash and gases. Temperatures plunge, agriculture ultimately fails, bringing on an apocalypse.

You missed the most dangerous one, Campi Flegrei, a super volcano that lies pretty much underneath the city of Naples, Italy. It began coming back to life in the 1950's, becoming much more active since 2005 and in the last few months, has increased in activity to the point of extreme concern. It is the most poised for an eruption in the near future, which could pretty much wipe out Europe.

How about Campi Flegrei supervolcano just beside Naples in Italy? Or possibly even Mount Toba in Indonesia?
-
I guess I'm not safe here in Canada as we aren't far from yellowstone
-
Well ill have to say one thing.
THE WORLD IS FUCKED -
Come on! "Deal some serious damage," We want hard facts, not superstitions. Also, you speak much like you are reading straight off a script, and it turns people away.
-
kek still a bit safe ere in Sydney
-
Shit, I live right next to the supervolcano, idaho.
-
Iceland has at least 20 active volcanoes :D
-
fuck your voice man
-
If mt.evrest was a volcano we will all die when it erupts Xd
-
It is not important because there are even larger volcanoes other planets have the title is pretty wrong
-
Know what is worse about Yellowstone
if that erupts
Other volcanoes could erupt around it and maybe cause another super volcano to erupt to with all that pressure build up -
subscribed good information!

Some huge misinformation in this video. A lot of these are just normal volcanoes, while large, would only cause local disaster. Not worldwide, and certainly not "destroy the world". Let's be clear, there's no volcano in the world that could "destroy the world". Not even the Siberian Traps that released millions km3 of lava over thousands of years "destroyed the world". Traps are far more deadly over long periods than any volcano eruption in history. Super volcanoes would only cause a 'winter' for 2-10 years. While that would wipe out 30-70% of humanity depending on which super volcano erupted, it wouldn't "destroy the world".

I would die I live in a place in Oklahoma where Yellowstone would kill me very soon
-
In Pompeii while watching this video...Vesuvius pls...
-
wait if Yellowstone goes off could it hit southeast alaska
-
Popocatepetel is not the third tallest, last time I checked mt teide in Tenerife was much bigger, well at least if you include underwater parts.
-
Steady eruption-good, Sudden violent. eruption- Bad, Sudden violent eruption without warning very bad.

I have a good theory is a supervolcano erupted is going to be long let's start with the volcano the super volcano that erupts trigger other volcanoes which will also trigger more volcanoes see a pattern anyway back to the people people become extinct because the lack of food because the volcano extinct all the animals 2 cuz we're still eating it will make it harder to get food the volcano roll lava onto the water which creates Steam and we would be screwed anyways if all the trees died from the volcano that would be no oxygen some countries Will Survive not for long though because they don't have volcanoes but the lack of food makes it harder for them which makes this planet inhabitable
