Volcanic eruptions in the waters off Tonga have attracted worldwide attention, and the subsequent huge tsunami has affected the entire Pacific Ocean. Three days after the small country lost contact with the world, the prime minister made a rare sensational statement. In the view of experts, the series of consequences caused by this volcanic eruption will also have a huge impact on distant continents.
Tonga made a sensational statement
Since the eruption of the volcano, neighboring countries have issued tsunami warnings. Countries on the Pacific coast are also facing great enemies, and the Japanese government has said that some of its islands will encounter tsunamis with a height of three meters. Tonga, the country directly affected, lost contact with the world after the eruption and did not recover until three days later.
His prime minister also immediately issued a public statement saying that the eruption had a very bad impact on the entire country, not only in terms of casualties, but also a lot of property losses. What is more serious is that the surrounding environment has suffered very serious damage. It can be said that the country has suffered a huge disaster that has never been seen before.
History tells us that the impact of volcanic eruptions must not be ignored. Just over 300 years ago, the volcanic eruption in Indonesia caused many disasters. Summer snow in the Americas, food shortages in Europe, and the continents directly led to famines.
China is affected
For the mainland, as the global temperature drops by 0.3°C due to the volcanic eruption, the intensity of the Southeast Asian monsoon will be affected the following year, causing summer rains to move south. Agricultural experts say the continent's work in the coming years will be linked to the eruption.
Even continents so far apart will be affected, and the disaster Tonga is currently facing is even more shocking. Not only to address domestic poverty, but also to be vigilant about climate anomalies and rising sea levels. Now that it has encountered volcanic eruptions that are currently among the highest in history, whether the country can survive is somewhat worrying.
Fortunately, in the aftermath of the disaster, many countries, including the mainland, immediately sent relevant personnel and provided a lot of assistance, hoping to help Tonga tide over the crisis. The continent was particularly fast, with ships already arriving in Tonga, allowing its people to use the mainland's materials. And there was no publicity beforehand, only a response after arriving. This also shows that the re-emergence of the continent has only benefits and no harm to the whole world. Adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence, the big countries in the East only hope to develop together with the whole world.
