The United States Government believes that the Yellowstone super volcano begins to erupt within the next ten years, and offers to pay to foreign countries by $ 10 billion a year for ten years, if they are willing to provide a home for Americans urgently if the Yellowstone supervolcano will act .
The African National Congress (ANC) government in South Africa received a request from the United States, which is part of the plan of liquidation of consequences of natural disasters in the United States. According to him, South Africa will be paid $ 10 billion per year (about R100 billion.) For ten years. The plan for temporary housing to millions of Americans in South Africa, if the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts starts.
Countries that will participate in the plan include Brazil, Argentina, and Australia. A spokesman for the South African Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr Sipho Matwetwe, said that South Africa "would not be part of the plan, because there is a risk that millions of white Americans can be sent to our country in an emergency, and we believe that this is a threat to the black national culture and identity. "
Super Volcano is a hundred times stronger than the usual volcano and can not just kill millions of people and destroy all of civilization. If Yellowstone is working, the entire North American continent will be destroyed, and the land can be submerged for several years in the "volcanic winter" (Nuclear Winter)
A recent scientific analysis of molten rock beneath Yellowstone National Park in the United States showed that the eruption could occur without any external influence possible.
Scientists previously believed that many super-volcano eruptions are preceded by earthquakes that break the crust and open the way for the magma. But new research shows that it can occur spontaneously as a result of increased pressure.
Supervolcanoes represent the second biggest threat to life on Earth, after Earth collision with asteroids, and they were in the past responsible for the mass extinction of species in the world, long-term climate change and the shorter "volcanic winter" occurs when volcanic ash closed the sunlight.
US scientists have identified South Africa as an area where people could survive in the "volcanic winter" when Yellowstone blows up. While the US government does not want to cause panic among the citizens, it wants to "err and be ready" if the worst come to pass, and Yellowstone will erupt.
The volcano is constantly monitored by seismographs currently on 45 points, and it is likely that the US will be a few weeks or days to alert notifications and to send a large number of its citizens abroad, especially in the southern hemisphere.
Although the South African Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Science, were fully informed about the US plan, together with a large sum of money to pay for temporary housing for the Americans in the Karoo and Kalahari where they could survive until the Cabinet decided to reject the US request.
R100 bn. Will be paid every year for ten years to pay South Africa, after which the plan will be reviewed.
It may take up to ten years for the super volcano magma chamber that it exploded. According to Dr. Jean-Philippe Perrillat National Center for Scientific Research in Grenoble, France, "the difference in density between the molten magma in the caldera and the surrounding rock, large enough for the magma from the chamber to flow out on the surface."
"The effect is the same as the additional buoyancy of a football filled with air under water, it rises to the surface because of the surrounding water," said Dr. Perrillat. "If the volume of magma is large enough, it must rise to the surface and explode like a bottle of champagne uncorked."
According to Dr. Sipho Mathetwe, the South African government is saying, "We are sympathetic to the American problem with Yellowstone, but we have our own problems in South Africa, there are 200 million white people in America, and if too many of them will move to the South of the country. Africa is a big problem, although there is enough housing and infrastructure are available. But ... it will destabilize the situation in the country and perhaps even bring back apartheid. South Africa is not for sale
