North Korea's nuclear testing isn't just a possible danger for nearby countries and the Western world — it could also trigger a volcanic eruption from nearby Mount Baekdu. At least according to South Korean seismologists.
朝鮮核試驗不僅對臨近國家和西方世界造成可能的危險,也可能引發附近長白山火山爆發。據韓國地震學家報道。
The scientists studied the "dynamic stress changes" caused by hypothetical underground nuclear tests. A report in Nature says, "An underground nuclear explosion test near an active volcano constitutes a direct threat to the volcano."
科學家們研究了由假設地下核試驗引起的“動態應力變化”。自然雜志的一份報告稱,“活躍火山附近的地下核爆炸試驗對火山構成直接威脅?!?/p>
According to the research team, the volcano last erupted in 1903. A previous eruption was one of "largest explosive events in human history."
根據研究小組發現,這座火山在1903年爆發了。先前的一次噴發是“人類歷史上最大的爆炸事件之一?!?/p>
North Korea refuses to stop its nuclear program and has conducted multiple underground nuclear tests in recent years, the most recent of which was in January and was immediately condemned by Western nations.
朝鮮拒絕停止其核計劃,并在最近幾年進行了多次地下核試驗,最近的一次是在一月,立即被西方國家譴責。
But according to RT, this isn't the first warning from seismologists of volcanic fallout from North Korean nuclear testing. In 2013, a geologist said, "A nuclear test will probably exert a direct or indirect impact on volcanic activity at the mountain, and this is worrisome.”
但根據RT,這不是地震學家對朝鮮核試驗的首次警告。早在2013年,一位地質學家表示,“核試驗可能會直接或間接對山體火山活動造成影響,這是令人擔憂的?!?
