Recently, the eruption of The Tonga Volcano has been on the hot search, and the Hong Aha Apai Island Volcano located in the South Pacific island country of Tonga has erupted violently for two consecutive days, causing the entire territory of Tonga to face tsunamis, heavy rains, floods and other disastrous weather, and the chain effect caused many countries in the Pacific region to issue tsunami warnings.
In addition, volcanic eruptions have caused large amounts of volcanic ash to enter the sky, obscuring the entire sky of Tonga with extremely low visibility.
According to CCTV News, "the energy released is roughly equivalent to 1,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs", which shows how destructive the volcanic eruption was, because the volcanic eruption caused all the Internet and communications in Tonga to be interrupted, so that the entire country was in a state of disconnection, and the extent of the damage caused by the eruption was unknown to the outside world.
After the volcanic eruption, New Zealand, 1770 kilometers away from Tonga, was super anxious and wanted to give Tonga any help it could, but because the disaster came too suddenly, it was impossible to contact the relevant personnel in Tonga.
Because the tsunami waves caused by the volcanic eruption in Tonga also affected the entire Pacific Rim region, several countries issued tsunami warnings, which also shows the power of this volcanic eruption.
This natural disaster in Tonga also makes us feel the uncertainty of Mother Earth, how small we humans are in front of the earth, and how helpless human technology is in the face of natural disasters on earth.
Tonga officially claimed that the volcanic eruption caused a total of three deaths, it is really thankful, such a big natural disaster, did not cause devastating damage, more than 1,000 Chinese in the Tang family are also safe and sound, I wish Tonga to get through this difficult time as soon as possible and rebuild a beautiful home.
For ordinary people who have not experienced volcanic eruptions, how can we protect ourselves from harm?
Volcanic eruptions can cause all-round three-dimensional damage to living things on Earth. First of all, volcanic eruptions will spew a large amount of magma, hot magma will turn into scorched earth after passing, followed by earthquakes, tsunamis and other secondary disasters, which are devastating to any object on the ground, and volcanic eruptions will be accompanied by volcanic ash and other toxic and harmful gases scattered around, seriously affecting the safety of any life around. In case the volcanic ash does not disperse, blocking the sunlight, it is easy to trigger the area to become a summerless year.
For natural disasters like this, we humans cannot predict, let alone avoid. We can only use what we have learned to protect ourselves when natural disasters strike.
