Volcanic eruptions
Say the word apocalypse and we all think of something that only happens in the movies.
There are, however, a worrying number of natural and man-made threats waiting to happen that could wipe us all out in the blink of an eye...
Super volcanoes erupt every 50,000 years and the recent eruption of relatively harmless volcanoes in Tonga and Alaska has reminded us of the threat of more life-threatening explosions.
If a super volcano did erupt it would plunge us into a new ice-age that would kill 60-70% of the world’s population and last for around 1000 years.
