/> A volcano in Germany is shaking Europe, much of the economic crisis. The Laacher See, that actually looks like a placid lake not far from Bonn, in fact hide a volcano ready to awaken and to cover with his ashes much of the continent. The news is reported by Dailymail, who a few days ago talked about the supervolcano and its dangers, saying that is located about 600 km from London and would be able to throw out billions of tons of magma. This monster erupts every 10-12000 years and the last time it was 12,900 years ago. According to the fatalists, could be the first sign of the Mayan prophecy about the imminent end of the world. The British tabloid adds that this volcano is similar in size and capacity of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which erupted in 1991, after more than 500 years of inactivity, and became the largest eruption of the twentieth century, regardless of which caused a decline global temperature of 0.5 ° C.
But the news is a hoax or truth? If it were true, it would be for the Laacher See volcano, the primacy of the world’s most dangerous. The prophets of doom say the lake is of volcanic origin, which are often quite easily shaped, but there are many in Italy (Lake Bracciano, that of Bolsena, etc..) And therefore can not be considered evidence. ; They add that last year the area was hit by several shocks, which would indicate the awakening of the volcano, but it is not news that there are earthquakes every day all over the globe. However, the volcanologists believe that the Laacher See is still active because you often see the carbon dioxide bubbles on the surface of the lake.
Any eruption could lead to a catastrophe in Central Europe, in addition to ‘darkening of the sun and the consequent global cooling. The rain of ash could exceed even the 1000 km away, thereby covering the entire northern Italy, through to Rome. If it were the first sign of the Mayan prophecy, it would be better to know where to run in 2012 to escape the end of the world!
