Why can t you dump garbage into an active volcano?

Humans do not dump garbage into active volcanoes, mainly due to extreme danger and extreme difficulty! We know that the perimeter of an active volcano is extremely dangerous. As you can see from the picture above, when an active volcano erupts, it is too slow to run away from it, not to mention taking out the garbage.

For example, the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, which has been active recently, is a source of misery for its residents. So, while dumping garbage into an active volcano may seem environmentally friendly, no one has the guts to do so.

Due to the accumulation of volcanic ash and lava over the years, the area of active volcanic eruptions will inevitably form a more complex topography, which will inevitably make it extremely difficult for us to try to go to the active crater to take out the garbage. Because in the face of the threat of active volcanoes, who dares and who has the ability to build roads? In short, dumping garbage into an active volcano may seem feasible, but in fact it is extremely dangerous and difficult to build a road to an active crater.

Therefore, it is completely not feasible to dump garbage into an active volcano!

Previously, someone did a test and threw a piece of garbage into the relatively calm volcanic magma, and the result happened**. It is conceivable that if a large amount of garbage is dumped into the magma, it may produce more serious **, which will create a large number of harmful gases that pollute the atmosphere. In order to dispose of garbage, this creates a greater hidden danger, so volcanoes are not suitable for garbage disposal.

Even in places like Hawaii, where there are erupting volcanoes nearby, it's not a good idea to throw garbage into the volcanoes. There is a volcano in Hawaii that has recently erupted, and some American netizens asked if they could go to the crater to bake marshmallows to eat (crooked nuts are also very big), and what they got was that volcanic eruptions would be accompanied by a large amount of toxic gases, and it was very dangerous to be close to the volcano, not to mention whether the roasted marshmallows could be eaten. It's the same with throwing garbage at a volcano, even if the volcano is right in front of you, I'm afraid no one wants to risk their lives to throw garbage.

Active volcanoes are not everywhere. On today's Earth, volcanic activity has long been less frequent, and there are very few volcanoes with magma, most of which are either dormant or extinct. Due to the risk of eruptions from active volcanoes, the vicinity of active volcanoes is generally uninhabited.

Therefore, it is very inconvenient to use the "volcanic garbage plant" to dispose of garbage, and transporting garbage requires a huge investment.

Not all active volcanoes are exposed to lava! In general terms, an active volcano is one that is erupting, or has erupted in the last 10,000 years. When there is an active magma system or magma chamber beneath a volcano, the volcano is considered to be at risk of eruption.

Therefore, by definition, the vast majority of active volcanoes are not "open-mouthed", and even hold a lake uprightly like a bowl, such as the Tianchi volcano in Changbai Mountain, Jilin. And how many volcanoes are erupting and bubbling with magma in the world? You have to transport garbage to these few locations in large quantities, and who will pay for this huge cost?

As we all know, big cities generate a lot of garbage, and there is a special need for garbage disposal. China's big cities often have a long history, and the ancients spent a lot of effort when choosing a place to build a city, and a place with an active volcano nearby obviously would not be selected. Therefore, there are basically no volcanoes in the vicinity of large cities in China.

In this way, even if it is difficult to find an erupting volcano, it will cost a lot of money to transport garbage from big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc., and it will not be worth it.

No, because it would be dangerous if the volcano erupted.

Active volcanoes are dangerous, they emit flames, and garbage can't get into them.

It is very dangerous to be close to the crater, volcanic radiation, poisonous gas produced by lava, it is better not to approach it, how to take out the garbage?

Well, this one, definitely won't work. The temperature is so high that people can't get close to it.

It's hard to get to the crater, the cost is too high, and if the volcano erupts, it will still be returned to us.

Definitely not, don't you want the food to be spewed out with garbage everywhere, and some of it is flammable and explosive.

Can garbage be dumped directly into the volcano? Why don't humans use volcanoes to dispose of garbage.

In fact, as early as 2002, some researchers tried this. A group of researchers from Ethiopia threw a 30-kilogram garbage bag into a volcano, although the 30-kilogram garbage bag was dissolved by magma in an instant.

At the same time, it also had serious consequences, the lava from the volcanic ridge quickly erupted, and the scene looked extremely terrifying, so I had to give up research.

If analyzed from a scientific point of view, why can't you throw garbage into a volcano for disposal? There are mainly these constraints.

One is the violent reaction of magma. When stones, garbage, and other foreign objects are thrown into an active crater, the magma inside will melt these materials in an instant, and at the same time, violent disturbances will occur. As soon as the weight of the foreign object reaches a certain level, sputtering occurs.

In some experiments, after throwing a rock into it, the magma splashed into the air at a height of 85 meters, and the camera was immediately melted away. In addition, when the cold garbage hits a large amount of magma, it can also lead to some very spectacular**. It is conceivable that if human beings throw tens of thousands of tons of garbage generated in their lives into the volcano, it will basically trigger a volcanic eruption, and the resulting molten will quickly swallow up nearby cities, and the lives of the surrounding people will be seriously threatened, and the regional ecological environment will also be seriously damaged.

The second is the release of toxic gases. When the volcano melts, domestic waste produces toxic and harmful gases, such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, dioxins and toxic organic compounds carried by reeds. Industrial waste may also produce toxic substances such as lead and mercury vapor that contain heavy metals.

These gases and harmful substances are released into the air with the movement of magma in a very short period of time, causing serious air pollution problems.

Third, in fact, compared with the above, this is secondary, the economic cost. There are many volcanoes on the earth, and there are about 1,500 active volcanoes that can achieve incineration, and most of them are far away from human living areas. If the waste is transported to the crater, the long distances and complex roads will make the transportation costs much higher, much higher than the cost of direct disposal currently used.

To sum up, throwing garbage into the volcano for disposal is really a very loss-making and "fatal" way of disposal.

Because this produces a lot of toxic substances. The hazard is that it may cause damage to the air quality, may damage the surrounding environment, and will cause the volcano to extinguish the situation, and the brother will cause the volcano to erupt again.

Because the volcano will erupt, the garbage poured into the active volcano and burned will produce a lot of reeds harmful tissues and toxins, and if the volcano erupts in the sky, toxic and harmful substances will be scattered everywhere with the wind.

Everyone knows that the temperature of the volcano is very high, so if you throw this garbage into the volcano and incinerate it, and use it to dispose of the waste, will you be able to solve the troubled waste, because the waste that each country can produce every day is a very huge number, but the imagination is beautiful, and the operation is very unrealistic.

Although this sounds like a very good solution, the volcano is actually like a very large waste incineration plant, but the volcanic crust is also a very dangerous place, because you can't find volcanoes all the time, you can see volcanic eruptions at any time, because of the geographical location, in fact, these places with volcanoes are not suitable for human habitation, and there is instability.

Volcanoes are actually caused by the pressure accumulation of hot magma, if you are provoked by the stinging brothers, then it will erupt directly, if you throw the garbage into it and burn it, the volcanic eruption is terrible, and in the volcanic vent, in fact, it is also a particularly dangerous environment, not only the splashing karst, but also the scorching temperature, toxic gases, not to mention pouring these waste products into it, in fact, it will make the whole thing worse.

In fact, someone has done this experiment, threw a bag of 30 kilograms of waste, and after going to the volcano, a small **, and then touch it with something cooler, these surfaces will have a chain reaction, this threat is really slippery and the fight is a fatal blow, if the country's waste is thrown in, then it will eventually lead to how terrible **, volcanic eruptions are unimaginable, this is an unpredictable potential danger.

In fact, the disposal of waste products is to try not to pollute the environment, but even if these waste products are put into the volcano, burning the materials inside may not be able to completely decompose, these, toxic substances erupt, in fact, will cause another kind of pollution, and if a lot of manpower and material resources are used to transport these waste products to the crater, then this is a huge cost.

Someone has done this experiment. They threw a bag of about 30 kilograms of garbage into the volcano. As a result, because the surface of the magma lake is also unstable and empty, a small ** directly occurred.

If you touch their surface with something cool (like scrap), this will trigger a chain reaction of acid vapor, and such a threat is deadly. If you throw the whole country's garbage into it, it will cause rockfall in the lava lake to transport the lava into the air, and at a distance of 85 meters, it is likely that the potato will be splashed on the human body.

Because the temperature is too high, it is easy to melt the garbage and emit a foul smell, and if the garbage is thrown in, the air pollution will be even worse.

Because the location of the volcano is very difficult to find, it means that the cost of finding it will become more expensive, and even if you get there, you will not realize that it is not necessarily a stable volcano. And if you want to burn the waste, you have to find a volcano that is high in the shape of a shield, which means that it has to erupt slowly.

Find a mild active volcano and hope it quietly swallows your garbage, but with air pollution. Incinerators built by humans must be equipped with gas filters. Volcano does not.

Incineration of garbage without the use of filters, as well as debris that does not decompose in lava, can lead to large-scale pollution of the surrounding air and ground. It takes so much garbage to shoot directly at the sun, at such a distance, and if something goes wrong, all the garbage will fall into the Earth's outer atmosphere as space junk.

What you don't know is that there's enough space junk out there. Space junk floats around the Earth. Satellites, rockets, and spacecraft components that are no longer working are already causing a danger to traffic around Earth.

Debris could hit the crew during the float and could also cause damage to the space station. Any junk that is sent into space but not burned by the sun will go into a lower orbit and slowly return to Earth's atmosphere. Some of the space junk may be burned up during the descent, but most of it will still fall back to Earth.

Active volcanoes are located far from where people live, some on remote islands. It is not possible for people to live near an active volcano because of the danger of eruptions. Transporting collected waste to remote active volcanoes is too expensive and impractical, and it is better to build a dump to incinerate or bury the waste.

Waste that can be incinerated cannot be burned directly in the open air, but requires the use of special waste incinerators and air purification equipment. Otherwise, the toxic fumes produced by waste incineration will directly enter the atmosphere, causing air pollution. Obviously, it is not practical to build an air purifier in a crater, so incineration of the waste from the volcano will also cause a lot of toxic gas emissions.

The above is a detailed interpretation of the problem, I hope it will help you, if there are any other questions about the absolute friend, you can leave me a message in the comment area, you can comment with me a lot, if there is something wrong, you can also interact with me and make a noise, if you like the author, you can also follow me, your like is the biggest help to me, thank you.

Because the temperature of the crater is so high, it is impossible for humans to put equipment on the crater. Not to mention that this will cause a lot of financial loss, and it is no wonder that people have not chosen to incinerate garbage with volcanoes.

Because the volcano is particularly dangerous, humans do not know enough about it, and it cannot dispose of garbage, which is likely to cause a volcanic eruption.

Because it's dangerous, if you put garbage on a volcano and it happens to erupt, you can lose your life.

No, and if you do, it will likely lead to volcanic eruptions, which will also lead to more and more environmental pollution.
